03/10/2025 | 10:08:13 On behalf of my group, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on this balanced and also cautionary resolution, which essentially raises all the important issues and also states that AI can be used, but care must be taken to ensure that it does not use algorithms to prevent people from entering the country, crossing borders or obtaining work and residence permits. I believe it is very important that human rights, democracy and the rule of law are upheld above all else and do not... 02/10/2025 | 19:30:14 Thank you, Madam President. I thank all who participated in this debate. But before you vote, I want to remind you that my proposal in this resolution is that the Council of Europe will join the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Partnership. It was created in 2016 by the World Health Organization (WHO), World Bank, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), civil society and also the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is supporting... 02/10/2025 | 18:46:14 Thank you, Madam Chair. It's really the last report which I present here. But it's not only my report, we are two rapporteurs. Heike ENGELHARDT, our former rapporteur, is sitting behind and watching what is going on with her report, because she made the most work on this report. She made also the hearings. And so, you have the report from two rapporteurs. Universal health coverage (UHC) is the heart of the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development, the roadmap of our common future. This ambition... 01/10/2025 | 18:14:32 Thank you, Mister President. I was sceptical at first, but the rapporteur has convinced me that this move to end a post-monitoring procedure is appropriate in this case. After a series of elections, a political crisis and instability, the new coalition government has now actually taken action since the beginning of 2025 and demonstrated its seriousness, especially in the area of the judiciary. In the area of periodic monitoring, however, we will still have to look at a few things in the... 30/09/2025 | 18:19:36 Thank you very much, Mr President. A few years ago, when I tabled the motion in this plenary chamber to open a monitoring procedure on Hungary. At the time, I did not realise that we would have such formidable co-rapporteurs. I would therefore like to thank the co-rapporteurs for a great report, the great work that you have done, thank you colleagues. As part of my political group, all I can do is fully subscribe to what you say in your report. The situation in Hungary - and it is one of...
