27/01/2026 | 17:07:37 Yes, it is. So, if no one objects, I will consider the amendment as approved. Amendment 1 to the draft resolution is therefore approved and will not be called. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 16297 as amended. A simple majority is required. The vote is open. How long do we wait? I think you can close the vote now.

I understand... 27/01/2026 | 16:03:38 So the sitting is open. Sorry for the delay. There was a blackout, not only here in the hemicycle, but in the whole region. But it also took a while after the electricity was back on to settle all the systems here in the room. We wanted to make sure that you really can speak and vote. It was not so clear. But now everything should work. Let us know if there are any issues, please. The sitting is open. I remind members that in order to be registered for this sitting, you should insert your... 27/01/2026 | 12:08:40 Madam President of the Republic of Moldova, Your Excellency, Mr Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Dear Alain, The Right Honourable Lord Dubs, very welcome Excellencies, Distinguished guests, Dear colleagues, Ladies and gentlemen, Today, we commemorate the victims of the Holocaust, six million Jewish women, men and children murdered by the Nazi regime, and all those who were persecuted, deported, tortured and killed because they were deemed "unworthy of life": Roma, Sinti, queer... 27/01/2026 | 10:59:30 Colleagues, I must remind you that the vote is in progress to elect the two judges to the European Court of Human Rights.
