Speeches since 2019

08/04/2025 | 12:55:02 Thank you, President. Thank you, Prime Minister, for your speech. A dear greeting from the second to the fifth smallest country in the Council of Europe. If there was a competition, however, Monaco would win for sure, so there is no competition on that. I would ask you for your assessment of the relationship between small states and multilateral organisations, which are never more challenged than now. If there is a class of states in need of diplomacy, rights and respect for international... 07/04/2025 | 17:21:24 Thank you, President. Thank you, Petra. For the reports and the good work done in Kosovo, thank you, Andrej, for these 15 years of work. I was part of the delegation to observe the elections in Kosovo and the experience suggested to me some reflections, more than on the functioning of the democratic institutions of the vote itself, on the effort applied in recent years by Kosovo, as by other countries that are not yet members of the Council of Europe or that are trying to join the European... 31/01/2025 | 10:19:35 Thank you Chairman, I would first like to thank the rapporteur for the thorough and balanced report on this issue, which has not only led us to reflect on the experience and long-term consequences of the deadliest pandemic in at least a century, but also causes us to take a stand on the value of public funding in the health care system and prevention, which should not be considered a cost, rather an effective investment to ensure a prerequisite of all human activity: health. Unfortunately, it... 29/01/2025 | 16:29:24 Thank you, Prime Minister, for your speech and responses, and good work on the six-month presidency by the San Marino Delegation. President Trump announced the end of the Great New Deal in light of the slogan "Drill, baby, drill!" Without the United States, and given also the position of India and China, the European Union's efforts associated with the Paris Agreement to reduce the size of greenhouse gases by 55% compared to 1990 will be totally insufficient to combat climate change, it being... 30/09/2024 | 16:11:48 Thank you, Mister BULAI. So, the debate is closed. The Bureau has proposed references to committees for certification by the Assembly. They are set out in Document 16045, addendum 1. Is there any objection to the proposed references to committees? No, there is no objection. So the references are approved. I now propose that the other decisions in the progress report Document 16045, addendums 1 and 2 be ratified. Are there any objections? No, there aren't. There are no objections. The... 30/09/2024 | 15:37:13 Good afternoon. Please take your seats. We are going to start in a few moments.  Let us start.  The sitting is open.  I remind members that they should insert their badge before taking the floor. As you begin your speech, please press the microphone “request” button once only. The next item on the agenda is the debate on the progress report of the Bureau and the Standing Committee (Document 16045 and Addendums 1 and 2). The debate must conclude by 4:10 p.m. I will therefore have to interrupt... 25/01/2022 | 12:34:03 Thank you Mr Tiny KOX and thank you President Željko KOMŠIĆ, The current Bosnian policies seem to have taken on very worrying characteristics due to the level reached by the statements by some top level politicians and the tangible actions that followed towards a policy of separation and division, contrary to the essential terms of the Dayton Agreement and against the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The political tension prevents the possibility of building and sharing the progress of... 20/04/2021 | 15:34:28 Thank you, President. Thank you to the Secretary General, Mr Angel GURRÍA. On behalf of the Socialist, Democrat and Green Group I support the conclusions and proposals contained in the report prepared by Mr Georgios KATROUGKALOS and the conclusions of the rapporteur Ms Selin SAYEK BÖKE for the Social Affairs Committee. The issue of fiscal injustice, in particular in relation to the digital economy, is very important at the moment. A great challenge indeed, strengthened by the disastrous...
