Now, dear colleagues, the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media has presented a draft resolution [Doc. 15430] to which two amendments have been tabled. There is also a recommendation, to which no amendments have been tabled. The amendments will be taken in the order in which they appear in the compendium.

You were the last speaker in this debate. I unfortunately now have to interrupt the list of speakers. The speeches of members on the speakers' list who have been present physically or remotely during the debate, but have not been able to speak, may be given to the Table Office for publication in the official report, provided that the speakers connected remotely can report their actual presence when the debate is closed. I remind colleagues that... 26/01/2022 | 10:42:30 Thank you. Thank you, Mister Infantino, for your most interesting speech, and of course for this. This is for in our free time to play football with a real football. As I told you and Mr Wenger before, I cannot make this sign here. All soccer fans know what I mean. We do not have a VAR, but we do have our members. They might have second thoughts about what Lord George FOULKES has said in his introductory remarks, or what you have said, President Infantino, have said in your remarks. You will... 26/01/2022 | 10:22:43 Thank you very much to you, Lord George FOULKES, for your introductory remarks and as you said at the end of the debate you will be able to react. Colleagues, if I tell people somewhere else that I am from the Netherlands and I mention the name of our Prime Minister or of the newly elected President of this Assembly, people say "Okay", but if I say that I am from the country of Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten, Frenkie de Jong and Lieke Martens, then they say "Oh, you're Dutch... 26/01/2022 | 10:11:39 Dear Colleagues, If you would allow me, I would like to reopen the sitting. We will have a busy day today, an exciting day, I hope, and debating most relevant issues. First we'll start with the conclusion of our Rules Committee on the still unratified credentials of the Russian delegation. I'll read out the message that I received from the chair of the committee. At the opening of this part session, the credentials of the Russian delegation were challenged on procedural grounds and, in... 25/01/2022 | 17:42:09 Thank you very much, Mister KISLYAK. I do deplore that there are problems with the electronic voting system. We are aware of it. People are working hard here to overcome that problem. But I think your complaint has to be met and, therefore, I announced that the vote will stay open longer, until 6:30 p.m. I hope that our people will be able to solve the problems that you quite rightly mentioned, but we now allow our members to have more time to vote until 6:30 p.m. I promise you that I will... 25/01/2022 | 17:38:49 Thank you very much, Mr Benedetto DELLA VEDOVA. Yes, there are important posts in governments, there are important posts in the Committee of Ministers, and there are important posts in this Assembly. May I thank you very much for your communication on behalf of the Committee of Ministers and for answering the many questions from our colleagues of the Parliamentary Assembly. May I wish you well in the rest of your most important Presidency of the Committee of Ministers. You still have a lot of... 25/01/2022 | 16:29:43 Thank you very much, Madam Secretary General. We now must conclude the questions to the Secretary General because we have run out of time. That is a pity because we still have 17 people on our list, but time is time. The next issue will be on our Agenda. May I thank you very much, Madam Secretary General, for answering the questions that were posed to you. We are looking forward to seeing you next time here and our hemicycle. Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, the next item of business is...
