28/09/2021 | 18:07:27 Thank you. With this we close the debate. Now we move to the consideration of amendments the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs has presented a draft resolution to which 16 amendments and 10 sub-amendments have 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... 28/09/2021 | 17:12:27 Yes, dear colleagues, Following the modification of this morning's Agenda, we are now resuming consideration of the report titled "Socio-economic inequalities in Europe: time to restore social trust by strengthening social rights" (Doc. 15365) by holding votes on the draft resolution and draft recommendation. First, draft resolution. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Doc. 15365. A simple majority is required to adopt. The vote in the hemicycle and via remote... 27/09/2021 | 17:00:33 We had high expectations of this report from Mr Paul GAVAN, but, unfortunately, it turned out to be a partial one instead of a neutral one. Although Azerbaijani colleagues and our Turkish delegation tabled some amendments to correct some factual mistakes, unfortunately, the Rapporteur and the Committee did not join our efforts. The relevant part of the report which deals with the European Court of Human Rights and interim measures contains inaccurate and insufficient information, because... 24/06/2021 | 11:56:43 Thank you, Mister President, I thank ministers for attending the session and addressing us. Indeed we came here to discuss the possibility of establishing a mechanism in the Council of Europe but Mr Minister talks in contrary to establishing something to protect the European Union borders. And all colleagues from EU members also repeated this here. This is a very cynical and contradictory approach. The Turkey EU statement was done and I was part of it in an emergency case, and Turkey... 24/06/2021 | 10:24:03 I really appreciate the tremendous and dedicated work by Mister rapporteur. As a country which is very experienced on diasporas, Turkey, and myself as a former consul in the diplomatic service, we try to contribute for its efficiency. Indeed dear colleagues, I will not repeat the previous speakers but I must say that Europe and the area of the Council of Europe in general would be the best place on earth for diaspora policies, diaspora practices, because of its complementary economies... 22/06/2021 | 19:31:08 Special thanks to you Chairman and the Committee members. Now the debate is closed. The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development has presented a draft resolution and a draft recommendation [Doc 15311] to which no amendments have been tabled. That's why we will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Doc. 15311. Although the simple majority is enough, unanimity is most welcome. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed... 22/06/2021 | 19:24:45 Thank you, Madam. Now I must interrupt the list of speakers as I announced before. The speeches of members on the speakers list who have been present physically and remotely during the debate but have not been able to speak may be given to the Table Office for publication in the official report. I remind colleagues that typewritten text can be submitted electronically if possible, no later than four hours after the list of speakers is interrupted from now on. That concludes the list of... 22/06/2021 | 18:20:38 Good evening everybody, after debating many aspects of Covid-19 today, the next item of the business is the debate on the report titled "Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on children's rights" Document 15311 presented by Baroness Doreen MASSEY on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development. In order to finish by 7:30 p.m., I will interrupt the list of speakers at about 7:20 p.m. to allow time for the reply and the vote. Now I call on Baroness Doreen MASSEY... 21/06/2021 | 18:30:14 With all due respect to the rapporteur Mr Boriss CILEVIČS, we found a lot of discrepancies and mistakes in this report. We thought that it would not be possible to correct them with amendments. That's why we just gave a dissenting opinion in the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and we will continue that way. I will give a specific example about it and I am insisting on this: paragraph 7.1 says that politicians are criminalised in Turkey for just referring to the inhabitants of the... 22/04/2021 | 12:52:16 Madam Chair, Indeed I don't want to confuse anybody. But this wording is only about the PKK. T e PKK is a terrorist organisation, recognised as such by almost every member country here, by international courts, by UN authorities. If we do not describe it in that way, it will serve the purposes of a terror organisation. As a diplomat, I know that very closely. That is why it will be good confidence building to accept this amendment. I invite every colleague to do this and to remove this...
