We shall hear an opinion from Mr Stefan SCHENNACH on behalf of the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media (Doc. 15505). The sitting will conclude at 7:30 p.m. so I propose to... 15/03/2022 | 10:56:43 Thank you, Madam President. I'd like to start by giving my warmest congratulations to the rapporteur and to the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy. I've attended meetings of the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy and I've been struck by one thing and one thing above all, and that is how this issue has united us across political parties. It is difficult to get a cigarette paper between members of the socialist group and my own group, and that is how it should be. I think... 28/01/2022 | 12:12:24 Thank you Mr Piero FASSINO. I shall now put the Amendment to the vote. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting are now open. The vote is now closed. Can I call for the result to be displayed? That Amendment has been rejected. We now move to the question of the draft Resolution, for which a simple majority is required. So we will now proceed to vote on the draft Resolution that is contained in Document 15433 as amended. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting are now open. The... 28/01/2022 | 10:37:56 Thank you Mr President. It is nice to be called eventually. I would like to start also by thanking Mr Michael Aastrup JENSEN. I had the privilege of serving on the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) under his chairmanship. I'd like to pay tribute to the way in which he undertook the work that we had to do. I think that we need to look at the question of monitoring again as a whole. I know that there are... 27/01/2022 | 17:59:56 Thank you very much, Madam President. I, too, would like to start my speech by thanking the rapporteurs for a very good assessment. A very good overview of the situation in Armenia. What they have done in that is to be very comprehensive in the issues that they have tackled, so I thank them for that. I thank them too for ending today's debate with an optimistic report, an optimistic report about the future of Armenia and of the area as a whole. It is so lovely to participate in a debate where... 27/01/2022 | 12:00:55 I shall now put the Amendment to the vote. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting are now open. The vote is now closed and I call for the results to be displayed. Amendment No. 6 is agreed to. We will now proceed to vote on the draft Recommendation as amended. A two-thirds majority is required. Only affirmative and negative votes will count in calculating that. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting is now open. The vote is now closed. I call for the result to be displayed... 27/01/2022 | 11:57:50 I shall now put the Amendment to the vote. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting is now open. The vote is now closed. And I call for the result to be displayed. Amendment 5 is agreed to. We now come the draft Resolution. A simple majority only is required. We will now proceed to vote on the draft Resolution contained in Doc. 15431 [as amended]. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting is now open. The vote is now closed. And I call for the result to be displayed. The draft... 27/01/2022 | 11:50:39 Thank you, does anyone else... I have been informed that Mr André GATTOLIN wishes to propose an oral sub-amendment, on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, and that reads as follows: “In Amendment 4, replace the words “replace paragraph 11.2.2 with the following paragraph” with the following words: “after paragraph 11.2.2, insert the following paragraph:”” In my opinion, the oral sub-amendment is in order under our rules. However, do 10 or more members object to the... 27/01/2022 | 11:42:29 Thank you very much. Now the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights has presented a draft resolution [Doc. 15431] to which 5 amendments have been tabled. There is also a recommendation, to which one amendment has been tabled. The amendments will be taken in the order in which they appear in the Compendium. I remind you that speeches on amendments are limited to 1 minute. I ask parliamentarians participating remotely to ask for the floor only when they have to support their own amendment... 26/01/2022 | 18:26:32 Thank you Madam President. I wish I was like Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO, and I could simply speak in Russian at this point. But I speak very poor Russian (in Russian) and I have to speak in English. I have come to know Mr Jacques MAIRE a little over the last few months, and I am not at all surprised by the excellence of this report. This place creates strange bedfellows at times, but I agree with almost everything that the representative, the group's spokesman for the Alliance of Liberals and...
