The Committee adopted 44 decisions concerning 20 member states during the meeting, including three Interim Resolutions [1] on the S.C. Polyinvest S.R.L. and Others v. Romania case, the Cyprus v. Turkey case and the Batı and Others v. Turkey group of cases. 67 Final Resolutions [2] were adopted by the Committee in respect of 246 judgments and decisions from the European court, concerning 21 different states.

An indicative list of cases to be examined during the Committee’s next full meeting on the execution of judgments, which will take place from 30 November to 2 December 2021, was also adopted.
