25/10/2019 | 12:28:25 Thank you very much, Mr President. I am sure that our colleagues are already looking forward to the opportunity to meet in the autumn of 2021 in the beautiful city of Athens. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ms WILHELMSEN TRØEN, Mr LARCHER and Mr FERRAND for presiding, as well as Mr FERRAND, Ms CAROBBIO GUSCETTI, Ms CUEVAS BARRÓN, Ms WILHELMSEN TRØEN and Mr KAUFMAN for their keynote addresses, which were helpful in guiding the participants' reflection on the topics for... 25/10/2019 | 12:05:21 Dear Colleagues, The list of speakers is thus exhausted. We must therefore now close the debate on the third topic under discussion. I would like to thank all the speakers here for the quality of their contribution and all those present for their attentive listening. I will now present a summary, as far as possible, of our debates yesterday and today. Dear President, Dear Colleagues, At the end of these two days of conference, here are some elements of conclusion, it will obviously be... 25/10/2019 | 10:50:44 Many thanks, Mr KAUFMAN, for enlightening our parliaments with your reflection on a fundamental issue, which is at the heart of the concerns of the Parliamentary Assembly and, I hope, of all our parliaments. It is one of the top priorities we have: the idea of creating a revolution, especially a peaceful revolution. Thank you very much indeed. We now come to the general debate. I would remind you that each speaker has five minutes' speaking time and I would like to inform you that we must be... 25/10/2019 | 10:13:09 My dearest colleagues, I would like to welcome you all once again to our Chamber, apologising for the small delay this morning, due to a number of improvised, unexpected meetings that were a little longer than expected. It's not very Swiss, but in the end, it's very European. The conference resumes its work by addressing the third theme of our reflections, a major issue to which I have paid particular attention during my presidency, particularly through the initiative #NotInMyParliament... 24/10/2019 | 18:51:22 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, since Mr BRUIJN has given up speaking, the list of speakers is exhausted. We must now close the debate on the second topic under discussion, but as I announced at the opening of the conference that time would be devoted to the audience's remarks, I would not want to deprive someone who would like to speak again this afternoon, of doing so. Does anyone wish to add a comment or intervention to this debate? That is not the case. I thank you and in... 24/10/2019 | 12:00:22 Thank you to Mr FERRAND and Mrs CAROBBIO GUSCETTI for their valuable contribution to the reflection of this conference. We now come to the general debate. The list of speakers has been distributed. In accordance with our Rules of Procedure, the order was decided by drawing lots this morning at the meeting of the secretaries of the national delegations before the opening of the conference, for speakers who were already registered. I invite the Speakers of Parliament who would like to add their... 24/10/2019 | 11:30:20 Thank you, Madame Secretary General. Dear Colleagues, I now invite you to adopt the agenda for our conference, which you know will address the three themes that have been mentioned. The session, which begins now, will continue into the afternoon and will be devoted to the discussion of our first theme for reflection: "Our Common European Home: the next 70 years". The second theme for discussion, "Implementing the UN 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals: contribution by... 24/10/2019 | 11:06:30 Ladies and Gentlemen, I invite you to take a seat. Madame Secretary General, Dear Colleagues, It is a great honour and pleasure for me to welcome you all today to Strasbourg for this European Conference of Presidents of Parliament, which is of particular significance this year as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Council of Europe. I am deeply convinced that the reason we are celebrating this anniversary is because Europe and, in particular, our fellow citizens need an organisation... 04/10/2019 | 12:50:24 Dear colleagues, We will now take a position on the other decisions of the Bureau, contained in its report of activity, in Doc.14968, Addendum 3. Are there any objections to the adoption of these decisions? There is no objection. The decisions of the Bureau are therefore accepted. Before declaring the fourth part of the ordinary session of the 2019 Parliamentary Assembly closed, I give you the list of the best voters. The most popular member of parliament this week is Mr. Momodou JALLOW, from... 03/10/2019 | 16:44:46 That brings us to the end of the list of speakers. I remind you that at the end of the current affairs debate, the Assembly is not called to vote. Of course, this debate has allowed for an exchange, animated - as you have seen - between the members of the Assembly. The Bureau may at a later stage propose that the subject matter be referred to the Committee responsible for report. The next order of the day is the presentation and discussion of the report by Ms Maryvonne BLONDIN, on behalf of...
