25/06/2019 | 11:25:38 Yes, thank you, President. I will try to react briefly to a few things that have been said in the debate and I thank everyone who took the time to speak in this session. I heard the proposition that the EU and the Council of Europe should work together on the issues of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. You know that the EU has taken initiatives in this respect and we had a report on this in April but I completely agree with my colleague who says that we should really work to push... 25/06/2019 | 10:29:46 Thank you, Mrs President, and I also promise you that this is the last time that I will be standing here in front of you.

This has not been an easy process and I would like to thank the members of the Rules Committee for the confidence they have placed in me and for their support. A whole train of thought has been going on now for three years. It started in the framework of a... 12/04/2019 | 10:46:19 Colleagues, thank you for your interventions, which have confirmed the position of the committee that approved the report. I want to address some of the points that stuck in my mind in the debate. First, I will address Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ's amendment, which would introduce “as far as possible”. I remind you that the article says that the rights of the child include the right to know his or her origins – the parents – as far as possible, and have been used against the lifting of anonymity...
