03/10/2025 | 10:08:13 On behalf of my group, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on this balanced and also cautionary resolution, which essentially raises all the important issues and also states that AI can be used, but care must be taken to ensure that it does not use algorithms to prevent people from entering the country, crossing borders or obtaining work and residence permits. I believe it is very important that human rights, democracy and the rule of law are upheld above all else and do not... 02/10/2025 | 19:30:14 Thank you, Madam President. I thank all who participated in this debate. But before you vote, I want to remind you that my proposal in this resolution is that the Council of Europe will join the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Partnership. It was created in 2016 by the World Health Organization (WHO), World Bank, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), civil society and also the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is supporting... 02/10/2025 | 18:46:14 Thank you, Madam Chair. It's really the last report which I present here. But it's not only my report, we are two rapporteurs. Heike ENGELHARDT, our former rapporteur, is sitting behind and watching what is going on with her report, because she made the most work on this report. She made also the hearings. And so, you have the report from two rapporteurs. Universal health coverage (UHC) is the heart of the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development, the roadmap of our common future. This ambition... 01/10/2025 | 18:14:32 Thank you, Mister President. I was sceptical at first, but the rapporteur has convinced me that this move to end a post-monitoring procedure is appropriate in this case. After a series of elections, a political crisis and instability, the new coalition government has now actually taken action since the beginning of 2025 and demonstrated its seriousness, especially in the area of the judiciary. In the area of periodic monitoring, however, we will still have to look at a few things in the... 30/09/2025 | 18:19:36 Thank you very much, Mr President. A few years ago, when I tabled the motion in this plenary chamber to open a monitoring procedure on Hungary. At the time, I did not realise that we would have such formidable co-rapporteurs. I would therefore like to thank the co-rapporteurs for a great report, the great work that you have done, thank you colleagues. As part of my political group, all I can do is fully subscribe to what you say in your report. The situation in Hungary - and it is one of... 30/09/2025 | 11:57:33 Thank you very much. I would like to thank everyone who has taken part in this debate and I can only emphasise this. Yes, Türkiye is a founding member of the Council of Europe. Türkiye was an initiator for the establishment of the Council of Europe Development Bank. Türkiye is an important state and that is why we are fighting for a return to the rule of law, for the return of human rights and democracy in the country. Many commentators have written on this subject in opinion pieces in the... 30/09/2025 | 11:08:26 Thank you very much, Mr President. I will take the liberty of speaking in my mother tongue this morning. Together with Lord David BLENCATHRA, I am the rapporteur for the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) on Türkiye. In this capacity we have already been to Türkiye several times, visited several prisons and spoken to the government and to civil society. Thank you for the honour of opening this discussion... 25/06/2025 | 20:49:57 Thank you, Mr President. I would also like to thank the rapporteur, because this report makes it very clear that there must be an energy transition, because climate change will be more expensive if we have bad weather, extreme weather. That will cost many lives. But it will also cause a lot of costs. That is why there is no alternative to the energy transition. And we have seen it in many examples: an energy transition is only possible with an appropriate social program so that all sections... 25/06/2025 | 16:50:18 Thank you, Mr President. We are talking, dear Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO, we are talking about Gaza. Gaza is probably the world's biggest humanitarian disaster at the moment. And when the previous Turkish speaker said that nobody dares to use the word genocide here - I have done so several times, including in the Austrian Parliament, including in this Assembly. What is happening in Gaza is genocide. It no longer has anything to do with Israel's self-defense. It is killing, it is murder. And that... 02/10/2024 | 15:49:48 Thank you very much, Mister President, I would also like to congratulate the rapporteur on summarising this somewhat turbulent session here in a way that is really important. A request was made by both the Prosecutor General and the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Poland to waive the immunity of a Member of the Assembly. It is not our task now to go into the depths of the case, whether something is right or wrong, but our task was to assess whether this request or these two requests...
