In the draft resolution, paragraph 10, replace the second sentence with the following sentences: "In a Europe of concentric circles, the Heads of State and Government from the 47 member States of the Council of Europe, representing the widest circle, should ensure coherence of standards between the Council of Europe and the European Union, avoid overlapping and best harmonise the various levels of their co-operation, in the foremost interest of European citizens. For this purpose, the Assembly asks member states to discuss again the 2006 report "A sole ambition for Europe" and to decide a specific timetable to implement the proposals contained therein in order to remove any overlap between the Council of Europe and the European Union."

Votes: 31 in favor 79 against 6 abstentions
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 12 with the following paragraph:
In this respect, there is currently an inconsistency in the composition of the two statutory organs: as a response to the annexation of Crimea and military aggression against Ukraine, the Assembly was forced to impose sanctions against the Russian parliamentary delegation for three consecutive years. Consequently, the Russian Federation has participated in the activities and been represented in the bodies of only one of the two statutory organs of the Organisation, namely the Committee of Ministers, but not of the Assembly. Instead of fulfilling a list of demands, upon which the restoration of the credentials of the Russian parliamentary delegation is conditional, the Russian Federation announced, on 30 June 2017, its decision to suspend payment of its contribution to the budget of the Council of Europe for 2017. Such a measure, which is far too close to blackmail, is unacceptable. When a member state violates obligations it has undertaken, it should face appropriate, proportionate, and enforceable consequences."

Votes: 29 in favor 79 against 7 abstentions
In the draft resolution, paragraph 12, replace the second sentence with the following sentences: "The Russian Federation failed to comply with numerous requests of the Parliamentary Assembly, which constitute the necessary conditions under which the decision to suspend certain rights of the Russian delegation in the Assembly could be reviewed. On the contrary, the Russian Federation continues to brutally violate its obligations under the Statute of the Council of Europe, as well as its commitments upon accession to the Council of Europe. The recent decision of the Russian Federation to suspend payment of its contribution to the budget of the Council of Europe for 2017 until full and unconditional restoration of the credentials of the delegation of its Federal Assembly in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is another grave violation of the organisation's Statute and might be considered a form of political blackmail."
