Madame Secretary General, Mister Deputy Secretary General, Madame Secretary General of the Assembly Ms Despina CHATZIVASSILIOUS-TSOVILIS, let me specifically welcome you as this is your first part-session. Let's hope everything goes well. I'm sure it will. I would like to say to our colleagues that it is very enjoyable to work with Ms Despina CHATZIVASSILIOU-TSOVILIS and her team because we have a lot of work to do, and it goes in a... 28/01/2021 | 12:58:57 Thank you, Madam Chair. Hereby the debate is closed. The Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination has presented a draft resolution [Doc. 15199] to which no amendments have been tabled, as the chair has informed us. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Doc. 15199 [as amended]. Members present in the Chamber should use the hemicycle voting system. Members participating remotely should vote using the remote voting system. The vote is open. Please vote. The vote is... 28/01/2021 | 10:40:40 Thank you, Kimmo. It will be noted in the report. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 15216 [as amended]. Members present in the Chamber should use the hemicycle voting system. Members participating remotely should vote using the remote voting system. I recall that those implied in this report have no right to vote on the report. Specifically this implicates the colleagues of the Russian delegation. So the vote in the hemicycle and via remote voting is... 28/01/2021 | 10:28:04 The Committee has rejected with two thirds. Vote is open. Vote is closed. Results: 37 in favour, 115 against, 7 abstentions. The amendment is rejected. We now come to Amendment 13. I call Ms Laima Liucija ANDRIKIENĖ to support Amendment 11. You have one minute. Does anyone else wish to support the amendment? I don't see anyone? Does anyone wish to speak against? If there's no support for the amendments (you see, Wojciech always has to remind me of the details of the rules)... so if there's no... 28/01/2021 | 10:24:38 Thank you. Does anyone wish to speak against the amendment? I don't see anyone. I shall now put the amendment to the vote. Vote open. We still have six colleagues in the hemicycle logged in, but they have not voted. Please vote. Vote closed. 110 votes in favour, 17 against, 17 abstentions. Amendment 5 is accepted and added to the text. We now come to Amendment 3. Amendment 3 is an amendment that has been rejected by a two-thirds majority. However, I will give the floor to Mr Rustem UMEROV. I... 28/01/2021 | 10:14:05 The Committee is against. We now put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. Please vote. Those colleagues in the hemicycle please use the voting system of the hemicycle and not the Kudo system because you might mistakenly vote twice and that would complicate things. So, in the hemicycle, only the voting system of the hemicycle. Outside of the hemicycle, Kudo. Please vote. The vote is closed. Results. Okay, so I've got different things down here. The result is 38 in favour of the... 28/01/2021 | 10:10:14 Thank you, Mister Stefan SCHENNACH. We now come to the consideration of the amendments. You have Document 15216, which is the draft resolution. It is presented with the amendments in the sideline, in the sidebar. The Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) has presented a draft resolution to which now 11 amendments have been tabled. The amendments will be taken in the order in which they appear in the... 28/01/2021 | 10:06:06 Dear colleague, I understand your and other colleagues' frustration, but as I stated in the beginning, we have rules. Now the list of speakers is established specifically according to these rules. It does indeed prevents you at this instance to have your declaration, but it also prevents other colleagues to have their presentation. So, I do apologize for the fact that a number of colleagues are not able to address this debate at this instance, but it is in full compliance with the rules. If... 28/01/2021 | 09:02:19 Good morning, everyone. May I ask everyone to take his or her respective seat? If you wish to engage in discussions amongst members, as I have said before, I would invite you to take it outside of the hemicycle. The first item of business this morning is a debate on the report from the Monitoring Committee regarding the challenge to credentials on substantive grounds under Rule 8. I remind you that the members whose credentials are challenged may sit provisionally with the same rights as... 27/01/2021 | 10:40:43 Thank you, Mr Director General, it is really an honour for us to have you on board and also as to the substance it is important that we have you on board when we are discussing this extremely important report on vaccinations that has been prepared by our rapporteur Ms Jennifer DE TEMMERMAN. So thank you very much and we hope that we can always count on you in the future, should it be that we need to treat some of these issues again. On the other hand we hope we shouldn't do that again but...
