I hope the rapporteurs are ready, the committees are ready, and you are ready as well. The next item of business this afternoon is the debate under urgent procedure on "Repression and targeted attacks on LGBTI persons and defenders in Türkiye" (Document 16499), presented by Mr Sam RUSHWORTH on behalf of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination. In order to finish by 6:00 p.m... 30/09/2026 | 19:44:29 Many thanks [spoken in German], Madam President, Dear colleagues, First I would like to congratulate the true hero of the day.

Speeches must not exceed 400 words. I remind colleagues that the texts should be type-written so that they can be submitted, electronically if possible, no later than 4 hours after the list... 29/09/2026 | 19:44:19 Excuse me, Ms Laura CASTEL, I think there was a technical issue.  Even though we do admit this extra minute, as long as the report – you can still, dear Ms Laura CASTEL, finish what is unfinished in the section of the replies within 3 minutes at the end of the debate.  Thank you very much.
