And it's absolutely clear that countering it must be done under the rule of law as well. Crime shouldn't pay, some of my colleagues said, and I think that we all can agree on that within the sound legal framework. This protocol is an important step forward. And I want to... 23/04/2026 | 15:34:14 Thank you, Madam President, Dear colleagues, The rapporteur, Mr Constantinos EFSTATHIOU, could not be with us today to present his opinion on the additional protocol to the Council of Europe Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and on the Financing of Terrorism, known as the Warsaw Convention.

The draft resolution is the result of extensive discussions, both within the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, and between the rapporteur and some members also, as we heard, of the Swiss delegation. The Committee considered the preliminary draft resolution twice in 2025, giving as much room as possible for finding... 28/01/2026 | 16:06:15 Thank you, my dear colleague. Madam President, Minister Mihail POPSOI, Dear colleagues, Welcome back to the Parliamentary Assembly. My belief is that what is going on in the Republic of Moldova is really astonishing. Your resilience, your European determination, your resistance to Russian attempts to interfere in your country.
