25/06/2019 | 10:16:08 Mr GONCHARENKO, if necessary, I will give you the floor when you ask for it, I have given it to you. And I repeat that it is a proposal made after discussion with the Bureau yesterday morning, to hold the debate on the two reports of the two committees on the challenge of credentials tomorrow in the early afternoon, as the first subject of the afternoon session. That's a proposal I'm making to you. Clearly, it is contested, which is why it is indeed for the Assembly to decide on the amendment... 25/06/2019 | 10:11:25 Wait, we'll do as we did before, if that's okay with you. Mr ARIEV contests the credentials of the Russian delegation, for formal reasons. I therefore invite those who support this proposal, knowing that there must be at least 10 members of the Assembly from at least 5 national delegations, to stand up. Thank you, you can sit down again. The number of persons required and the number of delegations required has been reached. The credentials of the Russian delegation are also being challenged... 25/06/2019 | 10:08:30 Wait, wait, please. It's not up to you to invite colleagues, it's up to me to do it. Please, sit down, and I will tell you when you have the floor. Mrs GOGUADZE is challenging the credentials of the Russian Delegation on substantial grounds, pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Rules of Procedure. According to Rule 8, such a challenge must be supported by at least 30 representatives or substitutes present in the room, and belonging to at least five different national delegations. I now invite those... 25/06/2019 | 00:46:54 The ballot is open. The vote is closed. Amendment 113 is rejected. We will proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in document 14900, as amended. The ballot is open. The vote is closed. The resolution was adopted by 118 votes to 62, with ten abstentions. Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank you for your active participation, your very large presence at this very late hour. I would also like to thank on your behalf all the people of the Office of the Meeting, the... 24/06/2019 | 20:24:10 My dear colleagues, we are resuming the meeting. My dear colleagues, the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs has presented a draft resolution to which 220 amendments have been tabled. You have received the first part of the Compendium of Amendments, which only covers the first two paragraphs. During our discussions, you will receive the following two parts. The parts will be distributed to parliamentarians sitting in the Chamber. Of course, the others can... 24/06/2019 | 20:03:55 I have taken note of your remark and the enthusiasm that this remark has generated, but it does not change anything - neither our Rules of Procedure nor the decision we have just taken. It is not the first time – much to my regret – that a Committee has not been able to deal with all the amendments that have been tabled, but it is also, of course, because – as we will see later – a number of its amendments have only been tabled to try to block the process. In any event, in order to allow... 24/06/2019 | 16:17:18 Thank you, Mrs. DE SUTTER. Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs Olena SOTNYK has referred a preliminary motion to the Presidency under Rule 37(1)(a) of the Rules of Procedure. The purpose of this motion contained in document 14917 is to postpone the debate on the report by Mrs Petra De SUTTER, "until an appropriate committee assesses democratic progress in the Russian Federation in order to ascertain the exceptional nature of the circumstances that may justify a derogation from Rules 6.1 and 6.3 of the... 24/06/2019 | 16:03:41 The meeting is now in session. The next item of business this afternoon is the presentation of and debate on the report by Ms Petra De SUTTER on behalf of the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs entitled Strengthening the decision-making process of the Parliamentary Assembly on credentials and voting. Ladies and gentlemen, I will give the floor to the Committee rapporteur, but I would remind you that we will have to finish examining this text – including the... 24/06/2019 | 12:36:08 Thank you. The point of order has already been raised by Mr Ariev. I have already taken note of this reminder. After the communication, Mrs Amélie de Montchalin will answer questions from the members of our Assembly. Madam Secretary of State, it is a great pleasure to welcome you to this Chamber as part of the French Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers. We already had the opportunity to have a first exchange of views with you in Paris last month, on the occasion of the meeting of the... 24/06/2019 | 12:33:32 Thank you, Mr Ariev. I have taken note of your statement. I told you: you are right, but I also told you, this is a particular point. This is not a debate in which we are to make decisions. No one is deprived of the right to speak, but it is the ceremony that is postponed to a future part-session. But you're right about the point of order. The agenda takes us to the communication from the Committee of Ministers to the Assembly, which will be presented by Mrs Amélie de Montchalin, Secretary of...
