29/01/2026 | 18:07:33 Thank you for your attention. If there are no objections, I will take these amendments as definitively rejected. If there is an objection, we will have to check that it has the required support of 10 people. Is there any objection? As there are more than 10 representatives or alternates who object, the request of the Chair of the Commission is rejected. These amendments will therefore be discussed in the usual way. They will be called in the order in which they apply to the text, as published... 29/01/2026 | 17:59:20 The House will now vote by simple majority on the proposal to refer the matter back to the committees. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I shall ask for the result to be displayed. The motion is defeated. We will continue with the report. And so I was explaining that now, registered speakers who were present during the debate but were unable to speak can send their typed speech to the sessional services within 4 hours, for publication in the minutes. This text must not exceed 400 words... 29/01/2026 | 16:40:04 Dear colleagues, I apologise for the delay. The sitting is now open. I remind Members that, in order to be registered for the sitting, you should insert your badge when you take your seat, and keep it inserted for at least 30 seconds. You should also insert your badge in order to speak or vote. To request the floor, please press the “request” button, just once. I also remind the Assembly that Members who have not submitted an annual declaration of interests are required to start any... 29/01/2026 | 11:19:16 Thank you, Madam Chairman. My speech will be brief. I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome the Danish delegation and the head of its delegation, Mr Mogens JENSEN. I would also like to welcome the ambassador, Mr Michael Aastrup JENSEN. This report is first and foremost the work of the Danish delegation and also the work of the Danes and their ambassador. I would also like to thank Mr George LOUCAIDES and his entire group for having withdrawn these amendments and finally enabling us to... 29/01/2026 | 10:15:09 Thank you, Madame President. Ladies and gentlemen, There are times when the facts are so simple that they are hard to remember. And yet, here we are. So, let's say it once and clearly, Greenland belongs to Greenlanders, for sure. It is a democratic society, with institutions, an identity and a fundamental right to decide its own future. Its sovereignty, territorial integrity and future are not a matter for speculation, negotiation or outside pressure. They are a matter exclusively for the... 28/01/2026 | 18:01:36 Dear Ms. President, Dear colleagues, When it comes to involuntary admission to mental healthcare services, more than in any other area, freedom must be the rule and coercion the exception. In any event, coercion must be essential not only for the physical integrity of the person and those around them, but also for society. It must be strictly proportionate and, of course, limited in time. At the same time, the care services must be sufficiently effective to enable the person in question to... 27/01/2026 | 17:17:44 Thank you, Mister Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, Our continent is under attack from all sides. In the East, in Ukraine, by Russia in an open war that has been going on for over four years. We know this. We have been debating it at every part-session since 2022. To the West, in Greenland, by our oldest ally, the United States. And this is more unexpected. To convince yourself that these are two sides of the same coin, all you have to do is listen to Sergey LAVROV, the Russian Foreign Minister... 30/09/2025 | 17:44:31 Madam President, Ladies and gentlemen, On behalf of the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy, I would like to thank my colleague Mr Zsolt NÉMETH for the work he has done to present this excellent report. I would also like to thank the colleagues who have just spoken for their comments on the debate. Today's debate clearly shows that our Assembly is attentive not only to what is happening in Europe, but also in its immediate neighbourhood. Kazakhstan, at the crossroads of Europe and... 30/09/2025 | 11:07:22 Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. We shall now resume our sitting. The next item is our topical debate on democracy, the rule of law and inclusive dialogue in Türkiye. I remind you that the speaking time for each speaker is set at two minutes, with the exception of the first speaker, designated by the Bureau, who has seven minutes. Mr Stefan SCHENNACH, appointed by the Bureau, has the floor to open the debate. Mr Stefan SCHENNACH, you have seven minutes to introduce the debate and three... 25/06/2025 | 18:53:59 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Dear Colleagues, The report by Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ, adopted by the Social, Health and Sustainable Development Committee, calls for a number of comments. Firstly, while the title of the report adopts a general perspective, as does the draft resolution, which makes recommendations to all Council of Europe member states, the explanatory memorandum is particularly critical of France. Why not? But it is at odds with the stated aim of the report. The report focuses...
