In the draft resolution, paragraph 20, after the second sentence, add the following sentence:

"The efforts of the Assembly to increase the 'involvement of civil society' in the activities of the Council of Europe should not lead to a dilution of the intergovernmental nature of the Organisation and the leading role of intergovernmental institutions."
