Dear colleagues, on behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), I want to thank our rapporteur, Ms Larysa BILOZIR, for taking on this topic, which is fundamental to the survival of the human race. With Ukraine being one of the top global agricultural producers, no discussion on food security – especially food security at a time of crisis – is possible without drawing lessons from the experience of Ukraine. The report does this beautifully, as it... 24/06/2026 | 17:59:30 Thank you, Mister President. I welcome this report and commend the co-rapporteurs, who have clearly demonstrated the deterioration of democratic institutions in Georgia, a process that has been ongoing for several years now.

Thank you, dear colleagues, for such a lively and important discussion. Dear colleagues, 17 years ago, Mr Sergei MAGNITSKY gave up his life for justice and truth to prevail. This report and resolution make sure that this sacrifice was not in vain. The name of Magnitsky today symbolises accountability.  This report is not about Switzerland.
