10/04/2025 | 12:21:54 Thank you very much, Mister President, and thank you, Titus CORLĂŢEAN, for this really important report. It is clear that we speak about one legal space, when it comes to the member states of the European Union (EU) within the Council of Europe, which is quite harmonised. Let me also focus on the implications of the participation of the European Union at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). This will help unfold the human rights protection umbrella over all people living in European... 10/04/2025 | 10:37:59 Thank you very much. Indeed our environment needs very robust protection, and the criminal law is absolutely an appropriate measure. It's very common on a national level, but there are still voids on an international level, so we really should close them.

I am desperate because the results of democratic elections are being trampled on again and again, because mayors are being replaced by government commissioners. I am desperate, because for years, for many years, Türkiye has... 09/04/2025 | 10:27:07 Yeah, thank you very much. We know that many countries start to fight corruption in politics when there is a specific case that becomes public. And of course that's a good reason, and better then, than never. But I think that we are all united in the idea that a system to assist MPs to respect ethical standards from scratch is much better than one that only relies on responding to breaches of standards.
