26/01/2023 | 19:00:37 Thank you very much, Mister President. I would like to thank and congratulate our rapporteurs Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ and Ms Inese LĪBIŅA-EGNERE for the report submitted today. Our Committee has been following the latest developments in the country with great attention. The rapporteurs have witnessed the dramatic contemporary development while preparing this monitoring report. The outbreak of the war in neighbouring Ukraine has had dramatic effects on the country, therefore, this report is not... 24/01/2023 | 17:48:46 Thank you very much Madam Chair.

I would like to recall that the Committee has been tasked by the Assembly with the preparation of monitoring reports on the member States which are not... 12/10/2022 | 18:02:19 Thank you very much Mr President. On behalf of the Monitoring Committee, I thank the rapporteur for the important and challenging work in the limited time. The preparation of this periodic review report was done under challenging circumstances. Firstly, the work was initiated under difficult sanitary conditions. Then, Hungary successfully chaired the Committee of Ministers last year and was fully committed to this important task. And thirdly, later, parliamentary elections were organised on...
