03/10/2024 | 18:59:44 Thank you for these proposals, but I've got some great specialists next to me telling me that they're not admissible at this stage of the procedure. Hard parliamentary life.

The draft recommendation contained in Doc. 16041 is adopted unanimously. Congratulations on your vote. (Applause) The next public session... 03/10/2024 | 18:57:02 The amendment is withdrawn.

Would anyone like me to read it again? It seems clear. So, under article 34.7.a of the Rules of Procedure, the Chairman may, in exceptional circumstances, declare an oral amendment or an oral sub-amendment admissible if he considers that it is intended to provide clarification, to take account of new facts or to enable conciliation. I consider this oral amendment to be admissible under the criteria of the Rules... 03/10/2024 | 18:46:28 So, there you have it. The deal I was offered was that Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO wished to withdraw Amendments 1 and 2 in favour of a compromise oral amendment. If you don't mind, I'd like to read out the text of this oral compromise amendment. In the draft resolution, after Paragraph 3, insert the following paragraph: "The Assembly is fully aware of the particular challenges facing Europe as a result of the war in Ukraine.

The Middle East has gone up in flames, and the word that comes to mind today is "apocalypse". The fire had been smoldering for decades, with regular but limited fires, against the backdrop of a geopolitical situation of unimaginable complexity, with hatreds passed down from generation to generation. On October 7, 2023, this hatred led to appalling crimes that we must firmly denounce. But today, we are witnessing the consequences of the law of retaliation applied... 01/10/2024 | 12:01:15 We shall now proceed to the vote on Amendment 2 as amended. The vote is open.

Paragraph 2 of amendment no. 2 would then read as follows: "impose targeted sanctions on war propagandists, including Margarita SIMONIAN, Olga SKABEYEVA and Vladimir SOLOVIEV, if they have not already done so". I consider this sub-amendment to be in order in terms of the... 01/10/2024 | 11:53:21 The Chair has received the following oral sub-amendment from the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and the Media: In paragraph 2 of Amendment 1, after the word "targeted", add the word "those", replace the words "since their" with the words "whose", and replace the words "should be considered as" with the words "represents".
