23/06/2023 | 12:14:07 Thank you, Madam President. Can I firstly compliment the rapporteur for this very comprehensive report. I know that in the report it says that there have been numerous resolutions in this area, and despite this, and at a time of massive acceleration to the digital world, 3.6 billion people continued to have no access to the internet, and half of the rural European Union has no access to broadband. That digital divide is based on geography, it is based on a generational divide, social-economic... 21/06/2023 | 19:16:58 Dear Colleagues, While the European Court of Human Rights is the penultimate body to ensure human rights are exonerated, the principle of subsidiarity exists. That is, human rights should be secured by domestic mechanisms rather than through the Court. Point 6 of the draft resolution points to the current operation of Human Rights Act in the UK as an excellent example of an effective domestic mechanism for ensuring rights are respected and fully implemented at a national level.

I think what is more important now is to ensure that this summit is a success and we are very proud of the role the Irish have played in ensuring this summit happened and... 25/01/2023 | 19:12:52 Thank you. Dear colleagues, Can I start by adding my voice of thanks and gratitude to the rapporteurs for the work that they have done. If you'll forgive me for signalling out one in particular, my Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe colleague Ms Petra STIENEN, who I know from my time as serving on the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination with her from 2016 to 2020, has been an extremely strong voice on this important issue. The eradication of gender-based violence is a key...
