Yes, first of all, on behalf of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group, I'd like to thank our two colleagues, Mr Kim VALENTIN from Denmark and Mr Mogens JENSEN from Denmark, for their two reports. Both examine the place and role of sport in political, social and international life, based on two related subjects. The Council of Europe has contributed a number of important sporting standards, including the European Sports Charter, the Code of Sports Ethics and... 24/06/2025 | 12:00:36 Thank you, President.

This is an area also marked by the determination of some state apparatuses to impose authoritarian policies, where... 08/04/2025 | 12:06:38 Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, I too would like to thank the rapporteur for this detailed and timely project. It sets out a number of areas of work around the renewal of concepts, civil society's resistance to these influences, the fight against disinformation, and the need for international cooperation.
