It is inconceivable for a member state of this Organisation not to allow a rapporteur to visit its territory on a fact-finding mission... 19/06/2023 | 17:37:09 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Colleagues First of all let me congratulate the Rapporteur Mr Schwabe for this excellent report and congratulations are also due to the 40 members of the ad hoc committee, the co-rapporteurs and the representative of the Venice Commission whose tireless work made it possible for us to have this comprehensive and detailed report as to the recent election process in Turkey.
