22 iii. The subject of the complaint. 56. The Committee considers that, in substance, the complaint includes the following aspects: - alleged violation of Article 31§2, because of the eviction procedures and their application; alleged violation of Article 31§3: - . because of the inadequate supply of affordable housing, . because of the methods used to allocate social housing to the least well off, . because of the inadequate remedies in response to excessive waiting times for allocation of housing; alleged violation of Article 31 in conjunction with Article E; alleged violation of Article 16; alleged violation of Article 30; alleged violation of Article 30 in conjunction with Article E. SECOND PART: ON THE ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 31 OF THE REVISED CHARTER 57. Article 31 of the Revised Charter reads as follows: “ Part I: Everyone has the right to housing.” “ Part II: With a view to ensuring the effective exercise of the right to housing, the Parties undertake to take measures designed: 1. to promote access to housing of an adequate standard; 2 to prevent and reduce homelessness with a view to its gradual elimination; 3. to make the price of housing accessible to those without adequate resources.” A. Preliminary comments a) Scope of Article 31 58. The Government argued strongly in its written submissions and at the hearing that the Charter's provisions on the right to housing, in particular Article 31, only imposed on states an obligation of means. In other words, so long as suitable measures were taken with a view to securing the right to housing, the situation would be in conformity with the Charter. 59. The Committee agrees that the actual wording of Article 31 of the Charter cannot be interpreted as imposing on states an obligation of “results”. However, it notes that the rights recognised in the Social Charter must take a practical and effective, rather than purely theoretical, form (International Commission of Jurists v. Portugal, Complaint No. 1/1998, decision on the merits of 9 September 1999, §32).
