Tabled by the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee)
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 7, insert the following paragraphs:
"The Assembly recalls that since 1993 it has had a procedure for monitoring the obligations and commitments made by the member States upon their accession to the Council of Europe, the implementation of which is the responsibility of the Monitoring Committee. All member States can be submitted to this procedure. Furthermore, when closing a monitoring procedure, a post-monitoring dialogue is carried out with the State concerned. This procedure allows for the examination of questions relating to the functioning of democratic institutions in the member States. Lastly, it ensures compliance with the obligations entered into by member States which are not the subject of specific monitoring procedures through periodic review reports carried out on a country-by-country basis. The Assembly invites the European Union to refer to the work of the Monitoring Committee as necessary."
