02/10/2026 | 10:32:43 Thank you, Mister President. I shall speak in French. First and foremost, I would like to thank Ms Rian VOGELS for her work, which has been precise, balanced and proportionate; and which, to respond to one of the speakers, is intended not to add more procedures, but merely to involve more people in the procedures – and indeed to reduce the number of procedures for them. Next, I would like to thank the members of the Committee on Rules, Ethics and Immunities, who carry out work that is often... 29/09/2026 | 19:52:24 Thank you, dear Ms Mariia MEZENTSEVA-FEDORENKO. First of all, I too would like to offer my congratulations to Ms Laura CASTEL and wish her all the best for the follow-up. Now, as the previous speaker said, it is a complex matter to debate a report in which Greece and democracy feature. Although anyone who has read PLATO’s Republic will know that critical views of democracy already existed in ancient Greece. That is interesting. Nevertheless, I was born two months after the end of the Colonels... 29/09/2026 | 10:53:59 Madam President, Madam Secretary General, Mr Secretary General, Your Excellencies, Dear colleagues, One of the key functions of the Committee on Rules, Ethics and Immunities is to continually reform this House and its operating rules. This is what we do all the time. Consequently, this already demonstrates that reform – internal reform – is an integral part of this Assembly’s work. These reforms – and this is very important – are undertaken in particular to ensure that we, as political... 22/06/2026 | 16:17:46 Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr Christophe MIRMAND, We are used to debating matters in our national parliament, and whilst you may not be aware of this, it is not my custom here to engage in domestic politics. Nevertheless, your presence compels me to do so, and I shall therefore touch upon it briefly. For three parliamentary terms now, Monegasque parliamentarians have been asking successive governments to organise question times, as is the practice in all European parliaments. The foundation of... 23/04/2026 | 17:28:52 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Mr Mogens JENSEN's report is quite comprehensive on the subject and the issues involved. Nevertheless, I would like to emphasise a few points. The first, and perhaps the most important, is the issue of intellectual property. We can't stress this enough, but artificial intelligence, or in any case what is known as generative artificial intelligence, simply amasses an enormous mass of data and reuses it to provide synthetic answers using statistics. It's a bit complex... 23/04/2026 | 12:25:34 Thank you, Madam President. As we said just an hour ago, in this institution, we defend a multilateral order based on the rule of law. And it turns out that since 28 February this year, Iran, and more generally the area of the Middle East that surrounds it, has been in a state of chaos, the full consequences of which had probably not been estimated at the time the operations were launched. I have no sympathy for the Iranian monarchy. Just a month ago, the Iranians were on the streets... 23/04/2026 | 11:11:00 Thank you, Mister President. Vladimir PUTIN and his regime are serial aggressors. We're not even talking about Chechnya any more, but South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 2008, Crimea in 2014 and even the Donbass in 2014, and finally Ukraine in 2022. Vladimir PUTIN and his regime are serial killers, mass killers in fact, with several hundred thousand dead. Vladimir PUTIN and his regime are serial kidnappers. We regularly talk about children here, but we could also talk about prisoners of war or even... 29/01/2026 | 10:27:35 Thank you, Madam President. I, too, would like to express my support and that of the Group of the European People's Party for Denmark and Greenland, as I hope we all will. As the report mentions, the transatlantic relationship for all our countries is an important one. A relationship that is built on decades in which we saw ourselves as the free world for most of us. And the actions of one administration say nothing about our relationship with the United States in general. Only time will tell... 26/01/2026 | 16:20:20 Thank you, Madam President. I would like to begin by congratulating you on your election. A little over 80 years ago, the victors of the Second World War decided that the resolution of this conflict would not only be achieved through a treaty, as had been the case for centuries, but also through a trial, which was held from 1945 to 1946 in Nuremberg. And they decided that a mark of civilisation was to condemn barbarism, not only by the force of the victor, but by holding a proper trial where... 03/10/2025 | 11:49:00 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I would like to join Mr Sergiy VLASENKO in thanking the General Secretariat and its teams for their absolutely crucial support, particularly in his work. But above all, I would like to thank the members of the Committee on Rules, Ethics and Immunities, who do a discreet job, not necessarily one in which there is much political capital to be gained, but whose sole purpose is to improve the quality of our work in this Assembly and to ensure that it is conducted...
