01/10/2026 | 16:52:31 Mr President, Firstly, I would like to take two minutes to thank our Deputy Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for the honour he has bestowed upon us today and for his participation, not only in our proceedings here today, here, through this debate, but also to thank, through him, the entire OECD team who have supported me over the past two years in this work, which has sought to be precisely balanced, as you have all pointed out, dear... 01/10/2026 | 15:39:18 Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr Deputy Secretary-General, dear Mr Yasushi MASAKI, Colleagues, I would like to begin today by presenting this report, which focuses on the activities of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and more specifically on the OECD’s role in assessing the impact of artificial intelligence on the future of work. I would also like to begin by thanking Mr Yasushi MASAKI for his invaluable presence amongst us, and I look forward to the speech he... 01/10/2026 | 12:07:32 Is that all right? Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair, excuse me. Indeed, first of all, I too would like to thank our rapporteur for her analysis and proposals. This report highlights that Europe is the fastest-warming continent and calls for climate action to be stepped up, with young people fully involved. Exceeding the 1.5°C threshold must neither be trivialised nor lead to a delay in emissions reductions. It makes habitability a core value of public policy and also emphasises intergenerational... 30/09/2026 | 19:57:41 Thank you, Madam Chair. Ladies and gentlemen, Rapporteurs, My dear colleagues, On behalf of the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy, I would first like to congratulate the male and female Rapporteurs on this report, which is of genuine urgency, and on their ability to respond very swiftly to this matter of concern to us. I would like to thank all the members who have contributed to today’s debate. For, as the daily news reminds us, Russia is escalating its criminal war – its... 25/06/2025 | 10:26:51 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Yes, first of all, on behalf of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group, I'd like to thank our two colleagues, Mr Kim VALENTIN from Denmark and Mr Mogens JENSEN from Denmark, for their two reports. Both examine the place and role of sport in political, social and international life, based on two related subjects. The Council of Europe has contributed a number of important sporting standards, including the European Sports Charter, the Code of Sports Ethics and... 24/06/2025 | 12:00:36 Thank you, President. Kalimera. First of all, on behalf of my group, I would like to thank our two rapporteurs, Mr Eerik-Niiles KROSS and Mrs Yelyzaveta YASKO, for the two reports. They both underscore two related subjects: namely, the need to render justice in Ukraine at a time when the international situation is particularly unstable and uncertain, and where we lose sight of a war that threatens the doorstep of the European continent. With regard to the legal issues and human rights... 09/04/2025 | 11:16:21 Thank you, Mister Chairman. First of all, I'd like to thank our colleague Mr Frank SCHWABE, who acted as rapporteur for the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs, and who has drawn up a statement with some very useful observations and proposals on this major theme of preventing corruption, its environment and its damaging effects on our democracies and our Assembly. Corruption is indeed a major problem, manifestations in different forms and with different... 08/04/2025 | 18:17:03 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I would like to thank George PAPANDREOU for joining our Parliamentary Assembly today to discuss issues of democracy and human rights in the Balkans, from a threefold perspective: historical and cultural solidarity in the broadest sense, political complementarity, and the rule of law, its values and practices. This is an area also marked by the determination of some state apparatuses to impose authoritarian policies, where... 08/04/2025 | 12:06:38 Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, I too would like to thank the rapporteur for this detailed and timely project. It sets out a number of areas of work around the renewal of concepts, civil society's resistance to these influences, the fight against disinformation, and the need for international cooperation. I would also add that for several years now, there have been cyber attacks and manipulations via social media aimed at shaping opinion. I would add that the methods of diversion are... 29/01/2025 | 11:03:14 Thank you, Madam President. Madame rapporteur, Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I'd like to thank the rapporteur for her work, which is timely in terms of improving the teaching of history to today's young people; challenging in terms of the implications that this paradigm shift may have; and equally concrete in terms of her recommendations and points of departure. Multiperspectivity in teaching, whether formal or informal, to borrow a distinction made by the rapporteur, can be summarily...
