10/04/2025 | 18:52:44 "Thank you very much, Madam President" [in French]. Dear colleagues, [in English] I will continue in German. Bringing Latin America into focus is an important task and our noble duty. I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Antonio GUTIÉRREZ LIMONES, for his insightful and comprehensive presentation. Strengthening relations between the Council of Europe and Latin America is important, because it is true that, with a few exceptions, we share the same values: respect for human rights, the rule... 09/04/2025 | 11:29:02 Thank you. Dear President, Dear colleagues, Firstly, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his continued energy and determination to ensure a sufficient focus on these important issues to fight corruption and to ensure robust integrity frameworks within the Council of Europe and our Parliamentary Assembly.

Ms Béatrice FRESKO-ROLFO's report makes it crystal clear. Yes, we need that. She has worked out in detail how vulnerable and at risk this group of women is. And I... 02/10/2024 | 16:35:45 Thank you. The Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs and the Assembly do not determine criminal charges, therefore Article 6 does not apply. It also does not look into the details of criminal charges, so detailed documents on the details of the charges are not required. Moreover, the documents and correspondence addressed by Mr Marcin ROMANOWSKI have been transmitted to Committee members. About the authority, I think the Minister of Justice is without any doubt...
