Speeches since 2019

27/09/2021 | 17:23:58 Thank you very much. As I said before, I had to close the speaker's list. However, speakers who are on the list and who have been present, physically or remotely, during this debate if they have not been able to speak, they can put their speech to the Table Office and then it will be published in the Official Report. There is one thing I have to add, provided that speakers connected remotely can report the actual presence when the debate is closed. I remind colleagues that type-written text... 27/09/2021 | 16:30:25 Dear colleagues, the next item of today's business is the debate on the report titled until now "Humanitarian consequences of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan". It is Document 15363 and the report will be presented by Mr Paul GAVAN on behalf of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons. The debate must be concluded at 6:45 p.m. so I will propose to interrupt the list of speakers at about 5:10 p.m. and that will allow us then the time for the replies and the the... 23/06/2021 | 19:25:55 Okay.

"The systematic violation of the Crimean Tatars rights especially freedom of assembly and association, freedom of expression and freedom of thought, conscience and religion." With the following words "calls on the Russian Federation to implement immediately the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice on the 19th of April 2017." In my opinion this sub-amendment meets the criteria of rule 34.7 and 67.4. Is there an objection to the... 23/06/2021 | 19:16:29 Thank you very much. Now we are going to vote. We have a draft resolution. The Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination has presented this resolution to which 11 amendments have been presented. I understand that the chair of the Committee wishes to propose to the Assembly that Amendments 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 4, 5 and 1 to the draft, which were unanimously agreed or approved by the Committee, should be declared as agreed by the Assembly. Is that the case Ms Petra BAYR? Yes, that is the case... 23/06/2021 | 17:36:54 Dear colleagues, the next item of business this afternoon is a debate on report entitled "The situation of Crimean Tatars". The document is presented by Ms Thorhildur Sunna ÆVARSDÓTTIR. She knows that I always have difficulties to pronounce her name correctly, so I say "Sunna". She has made a report on behalf of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination. In order, and in warning already, to finish by 7:30 p.m., I will interrupt the list of speakers at about 6:55 p.m. to allow time for... 23/06/2021 | 11:58:56 First of all I would like to thank all the panellists. Those are moving statements. Dear colleagues, The Istanbul Convention is the most far-reaching international treaty designed for tackling violence against women. Women in and outside their homes. As a member of the Group of the European People's Party I'm absolutely proud that I am allowed to defend and to promote the 10-year-old Convention. Dear colleagues, We are all all aware of the misinformation about the Convention. Misinformation... 28/01/2020 | 10:27:23 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, The report we are discussing now is about the desperate situation of the Polish judiciary. I thank the rapporteurs because they have a factual statement on what went wrong since 2015. Dear colleagues, if there had been an effort in Poland to make the judicial system more efficient and if it had been an attempt to make the judiciary more accountable and transparent to the citizens, as should be accepted from a modern democratic society, nobody here... 02/10/2019 | 19:19:28 Perhaps Mrs Oomen is more simple to pronounce. That's the name I got when I married. First of all dear colleagues, Mr President, on behalf of the Committee for Political Affairs, I have to express like almost everyone did, is that it is an excellent report by Ms Karamanli. We have had as a committee at least 10 hearings. But we also discussed the content of the report with United Nations. Ms Karamanli paid visits to several member states and she talked with victims and all the organisations... 26/06/2019 | 18:07:56 Yes, Madam Chair. In this debate, we had proof that we should change the rules because, as members of parliament, we were insulted by a rapporteur. And the rapporteur has to defend the opinion of the committee who voted. As an answer I got in the Monitoring Committee, "We don't have that in the rules." As a man of honour, he should have stood up until we took it up in the rules voluntarily and not insult his colleagues. That is not the way we have to behave in the parliament. So I would like...
