Strasbourg, 21.11.2008 - PACE’s co-rapporteurs on Monaco have welcomed the progress achieved by the Principality since it joined the Council of Europe four years ago, but pointed to some promises it has not yet honoured. In a declassified information note on a recent visit, Leonid Slutsky (Russia, SOC) and Pedro Agramunt (Spain, EPP/CD) said adoption of the law on the functioning of the National Council would be a key part of the on-going programme to modernise the Principality’s democratic institutions. They also called on Monaco to honour “without further delay” its promise to ratify the revised European Social Charter.
