I shall now put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is now closed. Can I call for the result? That has been rejected. I understand that Mr Ionuț-Marian STROE wishes to withdraw amendment 4 to allow for a conciliatory oral amendment. Does anyone else wish to move amendment 4? Amendment 4 is withdrawn. I've been informed that the Committee wishes to propose an oral amendment to the draft resolution as follows: In Paragraph 8, the second sentence, delete the word... 13/10/2022 | 19:44:34 Hang on, Mr Zsolt NÉMETH. You need ten people to object. I need ten people to stand to object. Ten people to stand to object. No, there are only four people that have stood to object there. I remind the Assembly that the objection must be supported by at least ten members. There is no objection, so we will just carry on. I understand that Mr Ionuț-Marian STROE wishes to withdraw Amendment 2 to allow for a conciliatory oral amendment. Does anyone else wish to move amendment 2? No? Amendment 2... 13/10/2022 | 19:43:06 Thank you very much, Mister SEYIDOV. The Monitoring Committee has presented a draft resolution to which six amendments and two oral amendments have been tabled. They will be taken in the order in which they appear in the Compendium. I remind you that speeches on amendments are limited to 30 seconds. I understand that the Chairperson of the Monitoring Committee wishes to propose to the Assembly that amendment 5 to the draft resolution, which was unanimously approved by the Committee, should be... 13/10/2022 | 18:57:51 Can we take our seats and get ready for the next debate, please? Okay, let us make a start. The final item of business this afternoon is a debate on the report titled "The honouring of membership obligations to the Council of Europe by Romania". It is Document 15617, presented by Ms Edite ESTRELA and Ms Krista BAUMANE on behalf of the Monitoring Committee. In order to finish by 8:00 p.m., I will interrupt the list of speakers at 7:30 p.m. to allow time for the replies and the votes. We will... 13/10/2022 | 18:23:41 Thank you, Mister President. I want to make three points in this debate. The first is in relation to the Istanbul Convention. You will be aware that my own country ratified the Istanbul Convention only recently. That came about after a lot of pressure, particularly from me, in trying to get them to take that forward. I do think that that is important for guaranteeing a basic level of security for women, whether they are in sport or not. As I mentioned at the seminar that we had on Sunday, it... 12/10/2022 | 18:13:21 Does anyone wish to speak against? No one wishes to speak against. The Committee is obviously in favour.

Let me thank everyone for participating in this debate. The contributions have been very interesting both for Mr Boriss CILEVIČS and myself to hear. I agree with what one speaker said, that this report is not enough. I said right at the beginning that this was a midterm review of developments in Türkiye. It is not the final report. Admittedly, I am committing Mr Boriss CILEVIČS to something that he may not wish to do - but our intention is to go back to Türkiye to keep... 12/10/2022 | 11:08:45 Thank you very much, Mister President. Can I start this debate first by paying my own respects to Mr Boriss CILEVIČS, and to wish him well for the future? It has been a great pleasure working with him, and he has supported everything that we have done in a very very firm contribution. Our Assembly is debating today the first monitoring report on Türkiye since the country was put under monitoring procedure in 2017. In 2017, constitutional amendments were adopted by 52% of the voters, and a...
