11/10/2023 | 16:49:18 Thank you, Mister President. We are all, I cannot imagine otherwise, engulfed in sadness and horror today. Just as our first speaker, Ms Meirav BEN ARI, was. To summarise, 1 200 people are dead. Almost 3 000 injured. There are reports of babies beheaded, and 17 people from my own country have also been killed. Still the terrorists come. They come across the sea onto the Zikim beach where they are killed. The town of Sderot is being evacuated. I mentioned this earlier in the week, because this... 10/10/2023 | 18:44:56 Could you take your seats, please, so that we can continue. Thank you very much. Let us begin this debate. The next item on the agenda is the debate on the report that is entitled "The honouring of membership obligations to the Council of Europe by France". It is Document no. 15833, presented by Ms Yelyzaveta YASKO and Ms Fiona O’LOUGHLIN on behalf of the Monitoring Committee. In order to finish by 8:00 p.m., I will interrupt the list of speakers at about 7:50 p.m. to allow time for the reply... 10/10/2023 | 16:50:42 Thank you very much, Madam President. The sort of Europe that I wanted for my children was one without the ideology of the Cold War. How we got trapped into seeing the world as right-wing or left wing is the subject of much discussion and of numerous PhDs. I feel the Europe that I know has got into a world of extremists on all sides, in all countries, almost – in almost all countries, extremist groups are gaining strength. Europe is no less clean than anywhere else. On the one side, within... 09/10/2023 | 16:07:06 Thank you very much Mister President, I would like to thank Mr Aleksander POCIEJ for his report. I'm sure it does not matter which political party we all originated from, but we should all wish him luck in the Polish general elections. I was very pleased to see his use of the Venice Commission as part of that, or of the Polish opposition. I urge all countries to look at that to resolve issues. In the question of Mr Osman Kavala, which he raised, I don't wish to raise false hope, but there is... 23/06/2023 | 11:07:57 Thank you. Thank you. [said in French] As nobody objects, Amendment 2 and 3 to the draft resolution are rejected. Sorry, was there any objection to that proposal? No, okay. Thank you very much. The Amendment 2 and 3 to the draft resolution are rejected. Excuse me while I turn to the right page. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Doc. 15787 [as amended]. A simple majority is required. The vote is now open. The vote is now closed. I call for the result to be... 21/06/2023 | 16:51:24 Thank you. I agree to your point of order. Let us rise and observe a moment of silence. Thank you. The first of the debates is entitled “Integration of migrants and refugees: benefits for all parties involved”. And that is Document 15785 presented by Mr Domagoj HAJDUKOVIĆ. The second is entitled “Social inclusion of migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons through sport”. And that is Document 15786 presented by Ms Nigar ARPADARAI. The final one is entitled “Health and social... 21/06/2023 | 16:46:47 Thank you very much. The Committee is in favour of this Amendment? Yes? Thank you. I will now put the oral sub-Amendment to the vote. The vote is now open. The vote is now closed. I call for the result to be displayed. The oral sub-Amendment is agreed to. We will now consider the main Amendment as sub-amended. Does anyone wish to speak against the Amendment as sub-amendment. I don't see anybody. What is the opinion of the Committee? Thank you very much. I shall now put the Amendment 1 to the... 20/06/2023 | 16:28:47 Thank you very much. Let me start by congratulating the rapporteur on a very good report on this area. Let me congratulate too Ms Sviatlana TSIKHANOUSKAYA for what she has said. I fully support those who are seeking a democratic return for Belarus. I too am one of those UK parliamentarians who have adopted a Belarusian political prisoner; we communicate with them to hopefully make them feel better. If you look at the challenges from the point of view of our own three pillars, as far as... 19/06/2023 | 15:31:02 Thank you very much. I would like to congratulate Mr Frank SCHWABE, not just for his leadership of the team, but also he may not have thought his three minutes was long enough, but he managed to get into that three minutes everything that I wanted to say. So I shall be repeating a lot of what he said. But I think one of the things that he stressed which is very, very, important is the presence of rapporteurs on the pre-election mission. It is really important that we do have people who know... 28/04/2023 | 11:55:05 Thank you very much, Mister President. I have to say that, and I confess this, that I feel very old in participating in this debate. I also feel a very strange to this subject, because I do not use any social media. I have given up the use of social media, because of the aggression and of the hatred that was shown on it to me and to my colleagues. I admit fully that there is a crucial role that we have to play in designing the rules that apply to social media, particularly for young people...
