27/06/2019 | 16:16:39 I would like to thank you very much for your help in preparing this report. First of all to the office of the committee and Agnieszka Nachilo, but also to the good cooperation with the Bulgarian delegation; even if we may not agree on every point in the end. But I think it was a very good cooperation, over a very long time. Many thanks, for the good support and for the good organization also according to our visitors and the exchange. It is not always easy to find dates, because there was... 26/06/2019 | 15:49:45 Madam President Ladies and gentlemen, We started a path together on Monday and today it is up to us, I believe, to be consistent and to go a little further along this path. We've talked about how it's not about Russia alone. Of course it's about Russia. Now this report is about Russia, but it is all about looking at how this organisation is armed; how it is prepared for the challenge of the future. It has become clear that if we have two bodies, the Committee of Ministers and the... 24/06/2019 | 16:24:25 Thank you very much, Madam President, I would like to thank all those who have really played a very constructive part in this debate. I would, of course, particularly like to thank Petra De SUTTER, who is the next member of the European Parliament, and who, so to speak, fled a little from these tasks, which she did, however, manage excellently, and helped us on this issue. Thank you Petra De Sutter, thank you very much for that. I would like to thank the Committee of Ministers, because we... 10/04/2019 | 17:15:21 As has been said, the three principles and key values of this lofty Organisation, the Council of Europe, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, are facing fundamental challenges. As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of our existence, Member States of the Council of Europe have put us in a difficult position; they are calling into question fundamental rules, and unfortunately that concerns not only the Russian Federation but others working against the spirit of this Organisation. We have... 24/01/2019 | 15:48:21 This Organisation is one of co-operation between Member States, and requires the implementation of the core values of the Organisation. That is what we have and what we must guarantee without compromise. The situation in Turkey involves a number of different challenges. It is on the frontier between Europe and Asia, and that is not an easy situation. One sees that in the history of Turkey and today, and the attempted coup d’état that took place just over a year ago poses additional challenges... 22/01/2019 | 16:09:05 Thank you very much for mentioning the responsibility of this Organisation to reach adulthood under very difficult circumstances. I would like you to provide more detail on two points. First, you mentioned sanctions. I think we used the wrong sanctions against one country for a good purpose. Do you see any chance that the Committee of Ministers would be able to share with us the possibility of using the right sanctions in the future? My second question is about financing. The Socialists... 22/01/2019 | 12:25:41 The Organisation is under fire because our values are under fire. I would like to thank you personally for taking responsibility, Mister Soini. I have two questions. First, it is not possible for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to sanction countries which disregard fundamental rights, but the Committee of Ministers has some tools to do so. Are you willing and able to share them with us? Secondly, on financing, this Organisation should never be in a situation where it is...
