Dear Colleagues, I would like to start by thanking our colleague Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK for the presentation of this report by Ms Marta GRANDE, which reminds us of the role of universities and research institutes in promoting the development of democracy and the rule of law.

I would like to express my deep concern and sadness at the increase in the number of... 28/04/2022 | 18:02:13 Thank you, Mr President.

We also noted that some actions by the...
