13/10/2022 | 11:25:52 Dear President, Dear colleagues, As we speak, the immediate result of Russia's legal and brutal war against Ukraine is unfolding before us. The extensive sufferings of the Ukrainian people in a country laid in ruins will forever stand as most terrible consequence of the Russian aggression against their neighbouring country. In addition, Putin's war has turned almost everything upside down. For several years he has done the outmost to destabilise of the European countries, interfering with... 22/06/2022 | 18:06:50 Mister President, dear colleagues. In this joint debate we have three important reports in connection with the Russian aggressive warfare against Ukraine. I would like to comment on the first one. Let me thank our rapporteur, Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ, for presenting a report with very specific recommendations and points of action, targeted at Ukraine itself, neighbouring countries and countries a little further afield. In fact, Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ has provided us with a checklist, most... 28/04/2022 | 11:58:03 Mr President, Dear colleagues, Firstly, thank you to the rapporteur for this very important report.

Two days ago, the Norwegian Prime Minister held a new statement in Parliament about the... 25/01/2021 | 17:28:51 Mr President and dear colleagues, let me start by thanking Mr Michael Aastrup JENSEN for his report. As a rapporteur from North Macedonia my worry is that we as rapporteurs have not been able to visit our countries for more than a year. The original plan was to visit North Macedonia during the first half of 2020 and my term as rapporteur ended in June 2020. It was due to the special circumstances extended until the end of 2020. However it has not yet been possible to go on a fact-finding... 30/01/2020 | 18:59:27 Mr President, dear colleagues, Let me thank Sir GALE for his report and memorandum with several proposals on how to strengthen the work of the Monitoring Committee, that deserve to be reflected upon. We should also have in mind our decision yesterday on the new joint procedure in response to serious violation by a member state of its statutory obligations. Regrettably, Sir GALE's report demonstrates that we are in need for new tools in order to get all members in compliance with human rights...
