20/11/2020 | 15:25:31 Thank you very much Mr President. I hope you can hear me. I would like to thank all of you. It is maybe not the most important report in our Assembly but for sure it is a necessary report because it brings us into the situation to deal with the COVID-19 situation and with whatever will happen. I'm quite sure that we will not misuse it. It was especially Mr Sergey KISLYAK who raised some concerns about it. I think that's the normal risk of misusing it. For sure I would like to say as well... 20/11/2020 | 14:37:19 I will speak in German. We had the last plenary session in January of this year, so it's long past. The goal is, of course, to meet again physically as soon as possible so that we can all start talking to each other.

Of course, that makes no sense if we were to end the path we took last year... 29/01/2020 | 17:50:25 Merci, Monsieur le President. Vielen Dank and thank you very much. For sure, I would like to thank all of you who contributed to the discussion for all your comments. Maybe I'm not allowed to say it, because it was on camera, but nobody acted against the recommendation of the Venice Commission because Mr VARAIKIS mentioned it. I just wanted to clarify that. For sure, we are not in easy times and what you describe is the reality of Europe and the reality we have to face. And we are in a... 29/01/2020 | 16:33:32 Distinguished President, Ladies and gentlemen, It is not easy if you sit there to reach this area here, but I'm here. The Council of Europe faces a lot of challenges, but it's not the Council of Europe alone. There are a lot of international organisations who have a lot of problems due to what we call a crisis of multilateralism. I think what we should always know is that it's not a crisis of the institutions. It's a crisis of some countries who would like to be members of an institution but...
