This morning, the agenda calls for the election of a judge to the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Portugal. I refer members to the list of candidates and the biographical notices which are to be found in Doc. 14954, and an opinion from the Committee on the Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights in Doc. 14968, Addendum 2. The voting will take place in the area behind the President's Chair. At 1 p.m. the ballot will be... 30/09/2019 | 16:36:23 Thank you very much, Madame Trisse, and the debate is now closed.

However, when people are in a crowd and chanting, sometimes they forget what they are staying. We have to look into the education side, the atmosphere and culture in... 24/01/2019 | 17:32:58 The monitoring procedure is one of the most important elements of this Assembly. Therefore, the reports produced under this procedure are expected to be unbiased and objective. However, several statements – and even reports – of the Monitoring Committee have a political and subjective character, contrary to the fundamental principles of sovereignty.
