20/11/2020 | 17:46:33 Therefore the Resolution is carried. Now we come to the vote on the draft recommendation. The Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media has presented a draft recommendation to which no written amendments have been tabled. Mr BECHT told us and formally forwarded an oral amendment to sub-paragraph 5.1, the amendment reads as follows: "in the draft recommendation sub-paragraph 5.1, replace the words 'to be' by 'as' and the words 'in November' by 'on November 19' so the amended sentence... 20/11/2020 | 17:34:32 Thank you. The chairman of the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media has already spoken at the beginning. As we all have seen, he is now, unfortunately for us, in a meeting. He has formally forwarded three oral amendments, I will come to that when we deal with the relevant paragraphs. The debate is closed and we will now head into the votes. We are in the votes on the amendments to the draft resolution. The document that you have in your files is document 15167. The Committee on... 20/11/2020 | 17:27:39 Thank you very much Ms Hajnalka JUHÁSZ. Concerning your remark as to the deleting of part of the report, that is just not possible because then we should have had an amendment which is not in place. Concerning the neutrality of the rapporteur as such, these remarks might have been made in the committee but as I have now been informed these were not made. On the other hand your remarks will be in the report concerning this report that we are now treating. Thank you. We will now come to Mr... 20/11/2020 | 17:02:53 No problem. Let it be noted that Mr Sergey KISLYAK made his point regarding the former report. Obviously abstaining doesn't make any difference in terms of the unanimity of the accepted report if I may say so. Then we come to the political groups in the debate. After the political groups I will give the floor to the chair of the committee because he has an agenda problem and I think it is important he could address us. But we need to follow the rules, so the first in my list is Mr Stefan... 20/11/2020 | 16:50:29 Okay, so this is then unanimously carried by 26. The resolution is adopted. My congratulations to the rapporteur and the committees. I think we might even say they were a little bit proud of this to say it in Dutch. (The President said a few words in Dutch.) Okay, let's go to our next point of the meeting which is number 14. Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media the debate on the report Threats to academic freedom and autonomy of higher education institutions in Europe. This is... 20/11/2020 | 16:07:59 Therefore, the resolution is adopted. Congratulations to the rapporteur and the Committee. This concludes the modifications to our rules in order to enable us to function full-fledged as from January also in plenary mode. Thank you very much for the excellent work to the rapporteurs, to the committees and to all members on board. Please stay on board, we've still got some reports to do. We now come to the next report: Equality and Non-Discrimination, the gender dimension of foreign policy... 20/11/2020 | 16:06:06 Thank you, Ms Ingjerd SCHOU. Then the debate is closed. First close your account. Okay, thank you. We will now proceed to the vote. I again would like to remind each and every one of you on board that only members of the standing committee are entitled to vote. We will vote on the draft resolution. A simple majority is required. The committee on rules of procedure, immunities and institution affairs has presented a draft resolution to which no amendments have been tabled. We shall now proceed... 20/11/2020 | 15:41:32 Well, it's a nice result. Therefore, the resolution has been adopted. My congratulations to all of you and, more specifically, to the rapporteur and the committee. It does allow us to be able to work in a very good way as from now because the rules apply immediately if I understand. But then we have report number two of the committee modification of the Assembly's rules of procedure. This is the report modification of the Assembly's rules of procedure document 15179 presented by the Committee... 20/11/2020 | 15:36:09 Okay so I understand that the author of the basic amendment does not oppose the sub-amendment. Do we have any opinion against? It is the moment to do so. No. Okay, then we will now move to vote on this oral sub-amendment. So to be clear we are voting now on the oral sub-amendment of Mr Tiny KOX which reads: "in amendment one replace the words 'second, fourth and fifth sentence of Rule 47.2 and Rule 47.3 shall not apply. A committee made deliberate and take decisions when one third of its... 20/11/2020 | 15:30:09 Thank you, Madam Chair, the debate is closed. We have to close the microphones.
