25/01/2021 | 12:53:17 Thank you very much, Mr President. Colleagues, first of all, congratulations addressed to both rapporteurs for their work, their reports and, of course, conclusions and recommendations that I entirely share from the beginning. I will focus more on the elections in Georgia in my capacity as rapporteur on Georgia on behalf of the Monitoring Committee together with our French colleague Mr Claude KERN, the other co-rapporteur. These elections took place after an important legislative reform that... 10/04/2019 | 18:03:36 Honestly, after listening to the colleagues who have spoken previously, I have decided to change my contribution slightly.
