24/04/2023 | 14:55:50 Thank you very much, dear Mr Aleksander POCIEJ. It's good that we show our respect to those who died and suffered then, by wearing these yellow daffodils. Now let's get to work. As this is our first time meeting in the European Parliament, we will now carry out a short test of the voting system. Please ensure that you are sitting in your designated seat – no one is seating in the wrong seat, no? Then insert your voting card – which is distinct to your parliamentary badge – with the chip... 24/04/2023 | 14:50:32 Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, As we meet in the European Parliament, the number of our plenary sessions has been reduced but the possibilities for committee work have increased. This week we will have an extremely interesting programme in different committees, including several hearings on topical issues, such as a joint hearing of the Political Affairs and Legal Affairs Committees on responsibility in the context of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, or the public hearing of... 24/04/2023 | 14:48:00 Thank you very much for reminding us that today is also the day where many people think about what atrocities happened to Armenian people in the Ottoman Empire. Your proposal to also have a minute of silence, I give it to the Parliamentary Assembly. I think it is a fair proposal to have a moment of silence to think about those who died in these dark days. [Minute of silence observed] Thank you very much, Mr Vladimir VARDANYAN, for raising this issue. Dear colleagues, The Russian authorities... 24/04/2023 | 14:41:04 Mister Deputy Secretary General, Madam Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly, ambassadors, members of the Parliamentary Assembly, all those who are following our meeting online, or from the public gallery, We are just coming from the opening of a very moving exhibition dedicated to the solidarity with the people who suffered and died as a result of the horrible earthquake in Türkiye and Syria in February of this year. I wish once again to convey my sincere condolences to the... 27/01/2023 | 11:42:30 Dear Colleagues, We will now turn to the progress report of the Bureau. This morning the Bureau has proposed several decisions for ratification by the Assembly. They are set out in the progress report, Document 15685 Addendum 5. The Bureau proposed several references to committees. Are there any objections for these references? If that is not the case, they are approved. We go to page 20. Thank you very much. I now propose that the other decisions on the progress report that you'll find in... 26/01/2023 | 20:04:10 I will tell you that next time I will not tolerate that you abuse the rules. A point of order is about the order of the meeting. If you have something that is not correct, you should not abuse it for speaking times. I have to complement you all - you have all observed speaking time. That's very difficult in such a heated debate, so please do not abuse the rules with points of order which are not points of order. I mean this very seriously Mr Samad SEYIDOV, because you are an experienced... 26/01/2023 | 12:26:25 Thank you very much, Madam Prime Minister, for your address and you also have agreed that you would now be involved in an exchange of views.
