24/01/2022 | 13:53:09 Well, given the type of point of order that I've seen from the Dutch delegation, I'm going to abuse it – going against the rules – by obviously congratulating you. We will have enough time to talk about it but, Ms Petra BAYR, I was before you because my present is waiting in your office, Mr President, but I just wanted everyone to know that. I didn't think I could bring alcohol into this hemicycle, it's not done, but one of the elements obviously in my capacity is that. So I do apologise for... 30/09/2021 | 12:09:48 Thank you very much, Mr Minister. Indeed, the first thing you have to do is to try to do something together in a positive way. Obviously thank you for that. We will now head into our next item of business which will be led by Ms Laima Liucija ANDRIKIENĖ, one of our Vice-Presidents. You are obviously welcome to stay for the debate, because I do think that it might be useful and interesting for you to take on what our colleagues have to declare or discuss during the current affairs debate. I... 30/09/2021 | 11:25:13 Thank you Deputy Prime Minister. Two additional pieces of information. We've got about 50 of our colleagues online, this is a hybrid session just for you to know. Secondly, this is a piece of information for the people online and in the room. I have been informed that today is your birthday. So happy birthday. (Applause). Unfortunately we don't have a tradition that now someone comes down with a big pie and a candle, but we'll think about it in the future. If you would have warned us upfront... 30/09/2021 | 11:04:32 Good day, dear colleagues. Some of us will be heading out of the Committees, Mister Minister. The next item of business this morning is the address by Mr Nikola DIMITROV, Deputy Prime Minister for European Affairs of North Macedonia. This will be followed by a Q&A. Of course any question can be put to you, Mister Minister, but you, of course, own your answers. Politicians sometimes answer something that you have to say, but we know that. Anyway, I wish to welcome you warm-heartedly. I think... 29/09/2021 | 17:01:00 Thank you very much, Anuna. By the way, you're always welcome. As all the other panelists, obviously, are always welcome, but you specifically are always welcome to join us. This concludes, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, dear panelists. Thank you very much also online for having been with us. I would just like to conclude with one small sentence that I said at the beginning of the sitting addressing the environmental issue, and I quoted a little bit of Hamlet, but in a different way. It... 29/09/2021 | 16:54:33 Thank you very much. I would like to – in a diligent way – give the floor to the President of Hungary on a specific topic and then I will have the same topic, Anuna –and that is a challenging one – also to you. And I think that you deserve to have the last word in this event. So dear President ÁDER, you spoke and this comes, a bit in some of the remarks, about the change of our economic thinking. We discussed it a little bit over lunch. I think to some extent, even a large extent, we may be... 29/09/2021 | 16:47:11 Well, I understood from the little Italian I speak that Roberto said that he is fully on board with the paradigm shift, at least as far as he is concerned. I'm looking at my colleagues who do speak Italian. I understand a bit of it, that at least to my understanding Roberto will be one of those who will, from his side, make sure that the environmental issue stays on the priority list of consecutive presidencies. That is, if I got it right. I'm looking at Roberto again, but he is gone. I... 29/09/2021 | 16:45:08 Thank you very much for that information, but, of course, we want a lot more. It is true what you say, it is not that this is an unknown subject but mentioning the four consecutive presidencies immediately, of course, I mean I have to reach out to to my friend speaker of the Italian parliament Mr Roberto FICO. I hope that Roberto can get on the screen now. Roberto, I have got a question for you. After the Georgians and the Greeks and the Germans and now the Hungarians, will you raise hell and... 29/09/2021 | 16:40:38 Thank you for that. Translated into, let's say, easy language: we did create soft law this morning, which will be taken into account to the extent of the possible, if I can say so, by the Court. Of course now it is to the Committee of Ministers to consider to make it into less soft law, so to say. I would like to go to Anuna for a second. Many people have a addressed you. I've got, if I translate a little bit what the groups' leaders say, the question that I have is: how can we together... 29/09/2021 | 16:37:45 Thank you very much. Mister President, I have another reflection. I don't know whether Mr Roberto FICO is still with us? I hope so. Can someone give me a sign of whether the speaker Mr Roberto FICO is still there? OK, we'll see if he pops up. Then I will go to our Judge, if you allow me to do so, because you didn't scare us enough, as far as I'm concerned. I do have a very specific question, because I had a discussion with a non-disclosed member of the court yesterday, not going to mention...
