14/10/2022 | 10:18:32 Thank you very much, Mr. President, on behalf of my group, I would like to sincerely thank the Chair of the Social Committee for this excellent report - which is also a hot potato - that she has tackled here. Yes, the future of work, the change in the world of work triggered by the pandemic and with Artificial Intelligence and with computerization has many, many dangers. I think the biggest danger in this area concerns women. The women who are now working at home, taking care of children on... 13/10/2022 | 19:23:22 Thank you, Mister President. I would also like to congratulate the two rapporteurs very, very warmly on this report. It shows that when a country – and Romania is obviously doing this – co‑operates with the Council of Europe and its institutions in the monitoring procedure, very, very positive reports are presented here. In particular, I would like to highlight the co‑operation with the Venice Commission and the co‑operation with GRECO. Overall, after the difficult years 2017 to 2019, where... 12/10/2022 | 17:30:30 Thank you very much, Mister President. Yes, I strongly reject the attacks on behalf of my group on the two rapporteurs. I too live only fifty kilometers away from the Hungarian border. When I open my eyes, I know what is going on.

But there are also quite a lot of artists who have no more air to breathe in... 12/10/2022 | 11:52:30 Thank you very much, Mr President. Dear colleagues, First of all, my congratulations to the two rapporteurs. The report which is before us today shows how right and how important the decision was to turn Turkey's post-monitoring procedure into a monitoring procedure years ago. Because in a post-monitoring, a few points are still open with a country in its development. Only this report shows that it is a little bit too much. Dear Ms. Serap YAŞAR. Double standards I always hear only from... 10/10/2022 | 16:39:40 Thank you very much, Madam President. Our President of the Assembly said today at the opening: the delegations of Azerbaijan and Armenia should use this week to engage in positive exchanges and talks. I would like to fully agree with Mr Tiny KOX on this. We have to be careful; we have here in a lightning development again the death of people in warlike clashes, this time not in Nagorno-Karabakh, but carried by Azerbaijan to Armenian territory, near the towns of Goris, Sotk and Djermuk. And...
