25/06/2026 | 15:34:32 Good afternoon, dear colleagues, and welcome back to the afternoon session. The sitting is open. I would also like to welcome our guests up there, including some special guests. You know who you are. I remind members that in order to be registered for the sitting, you should insert your badge when you take your seat and keep it inserted for at least 30 seconds. You should also insert your badge in order to speak or vote. To request the floor, please press the "request" button just once. I... 24/06/2026 | 18:26:57 He is in favour of the shortening. Thank you, Mr Emanuelis ZINGERIS. The Committee is obviously in favour. I will now put the oral sub-amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed. And the oral sub-amendment is agreed to. We will now consider the main amendment as amended. Does anyone wish to speak against the amendment? What is the opinion of the Committee on the amendment as amended? I shall now put the amendment to the vote as amended... 24/06/2026 | 18:21:50 Yes. Okay. I have been informed that the Committee wishes to propose an oral sub-amendment as follows. "In Amendment 2, delete the words, "including Elene KHOSHTARIA, Nika MELIA, Levan KHABEISHVILI, Irakli NADIRADZE, Paata MANJGALADZE and the third President of Georgia, Mr Mikheil SAAKASHVILI". In my opinion, the oral sub-amendment is in order under our rules. However, do 10 or more members object to the oral sub-amendment being debated? Okay. I see that more than 10 members have objected... 24/06/2026 | 18:18:36 The Monitoring Committee has presented a draft Resolution, Document 16420, to which 10 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 Committee and Vice Chair of the Committee wish to propose to the Assembly that Amendments 5 and 10 to the draft Resolution, Document 16420, which were unanimously approved by the Committee, be... 24/06/2026 | 17:14:42 Dear colleagues, Please take your seats so that we can begin with the next item of business this afternoon. And as this is the third day that I'm spending in the Assembly and the first time that I'm chairing, which makes me only a little bit more experienced than our guests up there, so welcome among the newcomers. Allow me to say how grateful I am for the welcome that we have received here in this Assembly after the Hungarian elections on 12 April, and that it's a great pleasure to satisfy... 24/06/2026 | 15:57:54 Dear Chair, Dear colleagues, I believe that the dangers around AI are to some extent misunderstood, because there are essentially two main dangers for Europe and for our values. One is that Europe becomes irrelevant in the AI game. And the other is that AI, the future AI systems, will have hardwired values which are incompatible with our values. Essentially, this boils down to two things. One is that capacity without values, which some of our adversaries have, is dangerous. And values without... 23/06/2026 | 17:25:23 Dear President, Dear colleagues, Hungary has a direct strategic interest in a stable, democratic Serbia. We remain a steadfast supporter of the EU integration of Serbia and the entire western Balkans. Some began this European journey over a decade ago. If Europe offers delay without recognising genuine progress, public confidence in enlargement will decline. But credibility is a two way street. Supporting Serbia's European future cannot mean silence about democratic shortcomings. The concerns... 23/06/2026 | 10:15:38 Thank you, President. Mister Secretary General, I come from Hungary, where the people have chosen to bring our country back to Europe and rebuild our democratic institutions. That choice also reminds us that democracy must be actively protected. Foreign information manipulation, interference and hybrid threats seek to exploit weaknesses and legitimate grievances within our societies. In this context, what concrete tools should the new European democratic pact contain to address these... 22/06/2026 | 16:55:42 Do I have the floor? Okay. Good. Thank you. Mr President, Dear colleagues, First of all, allow me to thank Mr Pablo HISPÁN and the entire observation delegation for their work. Indeed, as he said, it was no ordinary election. I also accept the report's central conclusion. Hungarians were offered a genuine choice between democracy and autocracy, between Europe and the East. And consequently, they turned out in massive numbers and the election day was orderly. But the campaign took place...
