16/04/2024 | 16:30:33 Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I thank the rapporteur Mr Lulzim BASHA for this important report and tremendous job done. Reconstruction is indeed an issue of great concern for the Ukrainians today. While enduring regular Russian missile and drone attacks on our homes and infrastructure, we always think of how we will rebuild everything. Not once this brutal war ends, but the sooner the better, as the destruction brings not only financial losses, but homes destroyed, industries halted... 26/01/2024 | 11:40:54 Fellow colleagues, I stand before you to address an issue of profound gravity. The plight of our children, especially those residing in Europe, the alarming instances of child abuse and institutions across Europe call for urgent collective actions. In this context, we urge our European partners to acknowledge and support our specific requests. First we call for rehabilitation abroad of status children: those who have been subjected to the worst forms of abuse and neglect. It is a humanitarian... 25/01/2024 | 18:52:27 Fellow colleagues, Freedom of expression and public participation are two pillars of our democracy. As Ukraine moves forward in our European integration process, it's imperative to recall that media reform was one of the initial steps to start in negotiations. At the same time, a key concern, also recently underscored by the World Economic Forum, is the escalating risks of disinformation, especially in the upcoming wave of crucial elections this year all over the world. As parliamentarians... 25/01/2024 | 11:14:44 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, I will be short. I'm grateful for all your support, all your words that you said today. I'm grateful to each of you for what your countries' parliaments and governments have already done for Ukrainian children. Our children have found refuge and safety in the member states of the Council of Europe, and are receiving comprehensive support from your countries. Thank you for that. I hope that this support will not fade away, but rather increase, because... 25/01/2024 | 10:06:51 Fellow colleagues, As we gather today, I'm compelled to address a matter that lies heavy on our hearts. The dire situation of the children of Ukraine amidst the brutal war of aggression. Our discussion revolves around a resolution aimed at safeguarding these young vulnerable lives who have witnessed unspeakable horrors. No child in Ukraine has been spared by this war. Many have lost their parents and relatives, suffered injures and endured traumas that no child should ever experience... 23/01/2024 | 18:27:30 If no one objects, I consider these Amendments to be rejected. Is there an objection? If there are, we will need to verify the objection has the required support of 10 people. Please, could those who object raise their hand? The request of the Chairman of the Committee is rejected. So each amendment will be taken individually in the order in which they appear in the compendium. We will now consider the remaining amendments individually. The amendments will be taken in the order in which they... 13/10/2023 | 12:15:39 Thank you Madam President. Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, I would like to warmly congratulate the two rapporteurs, Mr Simon MOUTQUIN and Ms Diana STOICA on their excellent reports. As Mr Simon MOUTQUIN accurately points out in his report, young people's mental health and well-being are an impacted by a world faced with multiple crises and much uncertainty: a pandemic, wars and natural disasters, displacement, cost of living... 11/10/2023 | 17:37:38 Dear colleagues, Probably most of you carry your phones everywhere you go. We all improved our efficiency and connections with the outer world, but also we all enabled surveillance to an extent we have never seen before. Pegasus, this seemingly innocuous name, has a far-reaching impact on our fundamental human rights. It is a technology that can infringe upon the very essence of our right to privacy, a right enshrined in the Convention. Shall we become paranoid about the technologies that... 23/06/2023 | 12:56:30 Does anyone wish to speak against the oral Amendment? I see no objections or are there any objections? No. The Committee is obviously in favour. I shall now put the oral Amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the results to be displayed. The oral Amendment is agreed to, so Amendment 2 falls. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 15776 as amended. A simple majority is required. The vote is now open. The vote is closed. I call... 23/06/2023 | 12:54:46 Thank you. Does anyone wish to speak against the oral Amendment? I don't see any objections. The Committee is obviously in favour. I shall now put the oral Amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed: The oral Amendment is agreed to. Amendment 1 is rejected. I have received an oral Amendment from Ms Edite ESTRELA which reads as follows: "In the draft Resolution, after Paragraph 9.5, insert the following paragraph: 'Remove any obstacles...
