21/04/2021 | 19:18:49 Thank you very much, Mr Dragan KRAPOVIĆ. Now we'll hear from another voice from Montenegro, Ms Maja VUKIĆEVIĆ, please. No voice? We can't hear anything. Try again. We can't hear. Pity, pity. Try again, yes, that's a good idea, yes, to try and have a new connection. Here once again, we can see you. We cannot hear you. You should refresh your request to speak. Try to do that once again. Once again, request so speak. Now, yes... we have patience for you. We can see you, but... Try to press F5... 21/04/2021 | 18:55:25 Thank you very much. You stole a little bit of time from Mr Emanuelis ZINGERIS, but it's maybe your mutual agreement. Mr Emanuelis ZINGERIS, two and a half minutes please. Okay, then we actually saved time. You can have a bit of a longer speech if you want. Mr Emanuelis ZINGERIS wasn't there. We have a not very long list of speakers, but I'll try to be flexible and I'll try to defend the speaker's rights if you're tight in your time usage. We might go through the whole list because I would... 21/04/2021 | 18:44:47 Now we’ll move to Mr Luís LEITE RAMOS, the chairman of the Committee. Do you want to have three minutes? Yes, Mr Luís LEITE RAMOS. Is he online? OK. Is the connection there or not? Yes, we caught the connection but we lost it. Try again. It would be useful to have the chairman, obviously, because the Committee prepared this report and obviously the next stage is to agree with it. To save time I already said that the Committee made this resolution and eight amendments have been tabled. As far... 21/04/2021 | 17:06:52 Thank you very much, Ms Nina KASIMATI. These type of personal statements are obviously personal statements in the way that they don't allow any debate. Could we move on now to the issue where we have a debate? The next item for us is “Discrimination against persons dealing with chronic and long-term illnesses”. It is a report produced by the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, presented and prepared by Ms Martine WONNER. She will soon have a statement on this and... 21/04/2021 | 17:03:43 Dear colleagues. Thanks Mr Rik DAEMS for leading the session up to this moment. I'll try to do my best to lead the session up to the end. I suppose today that there will be two different major items for us to discuss: long-term chronic illnesses and also the issue of Montenegro if I recall it exactly how the afternoon will continue. Before going into the issues of the real agenda I understand that Ms Nina KASIMATI wishes to make a personal statement. I remind the Assembly that no debate may... 21/04/2021 | 12:17:20 Mr President, thanks very much. My first words, I am very, very grateful for both Lord David BLENCATHRA as well as for Ms Alexandra LOUIS for the reports they have made. Very crucial, important items, human rights situation in Belarus, as well as the situation of election reform needs. The Assembly has chosen a path to write first these two reports concerning the past and the present situation. And fair enough, the reports are very important and thanks very much also for the useful discussion... 20/04/2021 | 17:30:56 Chair, My colleague Mr Stefan SCHENNACH from the Socialist Group spoke on behalf of the Socialist Group and he mentioned that he is also the rapporteur for Azerbaijan. I'm also a member of the same group but I am a rapporteur for Armenia. I fully share all the point of views that he actually indicated. The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the wars between Armenia and Azerbaijan to be more precise, is a very very unfortunate process. All these wars over Nagorno-Karabakh have been... 20/04/2021 | 17:04:57 Thanks for the efficiency. Anyone against? I don't see, and the Committee supported it. I shall now put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. I allow the time for voting. We are closing the vote. Result: Supported by ca lear majority: 78 in favour, 3 against. Now we move to the final stage of decision-making on this draft resolution. We will vote on the draft resolution as a whole, as amended. So now the vote is open for the whole resolution as amended. The vote is closed, and the... 20/04/2021 | 15:33:05 Thank you very much for the statement. As you can see, the face has changed here on the podium in terms of who is guiding and leading the discussion. Thanks to Mr Rik DAEMS, our president, for elegantly guiding the discussion at the beginning. I also want to thank very much Mr Ángel Gurría, the Secretary General of the OECD, for his presentation. It was very, very interesting to follow. Today has also been a day where some of us have apologised for their behaviour. On the whole, I am one of... 28/01/2021 | 09:54:58 Mister President, may I first say a great thanks to the rapporteur Mr Stefan Schennach for preparing this resolution. At the same time I would also appreciate that the Monitoring Committee agrees to this draft resolution with a great majority. If you read it, the resolution text itself is very explicit. We are here together in this assembly hall because we have common values which are clear for all of us: democracy, human rights and the rule of law. The report of the resolution notes...
