01/10/2026 | 19:36:19 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr President, Dear colleagues, First of all I’d like warmly congratulate Ms Marietta KARAMANLI on her excellent and thoughtful report. Artificial intelligence is already changing the world of work. The question before us is not whether this change will happen, but how we choose to shape it. The OECD provides us with valuable evidence. Here, in the Council of Europe, our responsibility is to ensure that technological progress remains firmly... 01/10/2026 | 19:07:18 Chair, Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to congratulate my friend Mr Georgios STAMATIS for the report. I am really sorry, I thought I didn't have enough time to talk but I would like to say it is an excellent report which addresses one of the most important questions for Europe's future. Our demographic future will depend greatly on whether young people feel confident enough to build their lives, careers and families in their own communities. Europe should use its financial... 30/09/2026 | 18:28:35 Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, I would first like to congratulate our rapporteur, Mr Tekke PANMAN, on the quality and relevance of his report. This debate goes far beyond the issue of a single institution. It touches on the very heart of the international legal order that Europe helped to build following the tragedies of the 20th century.

How can diaspora and migrant communities contribute more actively to social cohesion and democratic life? I believe the report starts from the right premise: integration cannot succeed if people are treated merely as passive recipients of public policy. Participation matters. Dialogue matters. And involving the communities concerned in the design and... 25/06/2026 | 10:47:19 Thank you, Madam Chair. Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, Europe is seeking to reconcile migration management with its values and with effective measures. This is not just a matter of figures or return procedures; it is also a matter of citizens’ safety, social cohesion and respect for human rights. No single state can tackle this alone. Greece, as an external border state, bears a particular responsibility in the eastern Mediterranean; that is why solutions must take into account the reality... 23/06/2026 | 11:36:24 Thank you very much. Madam Chair, ladies and gentlemen, Today's discussion on the way the judiciary functions and the suppression that exists in Türkiye goes hand in hand with the respect for the very fundamental values upon which the Council of Europe was built: democracy, rule of law, and the protection of human rights. Unfortunately, in Türkiye right now, the opposition is confronting this repression and elected officials, public officials, are confronting situations where their very...
