24/06/2019 | 12:24:51 You are absolutely right. It is an agenda that was adopted with the celebration of the 70th anniversary, and that is why –when it came time to do so– I asked you what you thought of the fact that we were giving up this celebration for this part-session. But, of course, if you object to the deletion of the celebration, I will, as usual, put this proposal to the vote. That was not the case until a few minutes ago, until your intervention. Now I know that you have made this proposal –which is... 24/06/2019 | 12:17:59 Excuse me, sir, I can't accept your proposal to delete it. Why? Because these agenda items 5, 6 and 7 are marked as a "Possibly" and would, if necessary, be the consequence of the debates that will take place this afternoon, this evening and this night on the report of the Committee on Rules of Procedure. So from that point of view, it is not possible to follow up on your proposal. So I can consider... Interruption by Sir Christopher CHOPE (Royaume-Uni, CE) Listen, Mr Chope, either it is a... 24/06/2019 | 12:09:39 I think there has been a misunderstanding, Mr. Kiral. The report on the credentials I have just proposed will take place on Thursday afternoon, for the challenge of the credentials of the Spanish delegation. There are no further debates on the agenda at the moment on a challenge to another power, but, of course, if we receive –as it is possible– credentials from new delegations tomorrow morning, it will then be possible for them to be challenged and, at that time, we will have to find a... 24/06/2019 | 12:01:54 Thank you. I would like to ask the Chairman of the Committee on Rules of Procedure what her opinion is on the proposed change of agenda. Is she in the assembly? I don't see her. We therefore have no opinion from the President, but we have had the opinion of the Bureau, since this item was not contested at all in the preparation of the draft agenda. I will therefore put Mrs Goguadze's proposal to the vote. Those who support this proposal vote yes; those who oppose it and want to keep the draft... 24/06/2019 | 11:58:15 Thank you, Mr Daems, you also explained the Bureau's position this morning. We will now vote on the urgency, again, which requires a 2/3 majority of the votes cast to be accepted. Those who wish to hold an urgent debate vote yes; those who agree with the Bureau's proposal not to hold an urgent debate vote no. The ballot is open. The vote is closed. The request for an urgent debate has also been rejected. We now come to the adoption of the agenda for this part-session. The draft agenda was... 24/06/2019 | 11:55:16 Thank you, Mr Kox. In your intervention, you actually defended the position of this morning's Bureau, which, I would remind you, issued an unfavourable opinion. We will therefore vote on the urgent procedure, which requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast to be accepted. Those who wish for an emergency debate to be held will vote yes, those who agree with the Bureau's proposal not to hold an emergency debate will vote no. The ballot is open. The vote is closed. The request for an... 24/06/2019 | 11:50:04 Wait, wait, wait, wait! Let me just announce the procedure. Sit down, and yu will get up when I tell you to. Mr Gale contests the credentials of the Spanish delegation on formal grounds. I remind you that, according to Rule 7 of our Rules of Procedure, credentials must be contested by at least ten members of the Assembly present in the Chamber and belonging to at least five national delegations. Those who support this challenge can stand up now. I note that the number of ten representatives... 24/06/2019 | 11:30:07 The meeting is open. I declare open the third part of the 2019 ordinary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Secretary General, Ladies and gentlemen, Colleagues, The part-session which we are starting today is taking place in extraordinary circumstances. Our Organisation is going through a crisis which has serious implications for the European human rights protection system and for the stability and sustainability of our own institutions. In January, at the opening... 12/04/2019 | 12:52:44 We turn now to the progress report of the Bureau and the Standing Committee. This morning, the Bureau has proposed several references to committees, which are set out in the progress report, Document 14855, Addendum 3. These references must be submitted for ratification by the Assembly in accordance with Rule 26.3. Are there any objections? That is not the case. The references are approved. I now propose that the other proposals in the progress report, Document 14855, Add. 3, be ratified. Are... 11/04/2019 | 19:19:24 Does anyone wish to speak against the amendment? That is not the case. The committee is evidently in favour, so we will put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. Amendment 8 is adopted. We will now proceed to vote on the whole of the draft recommendation contained in Document 14837, as amended. I remind colleagues that a two-thirds majority is required. The vote is open. The draft recommendation in Document 14837, as amended, is adopted, with 35 votes for, 9 against and 10 abstentions...
