Anġlu Farrugia. ___________________________ Raymond Scicluna Skrivan tal-Kamra COUNCIL OF EUROPE l&-Parliamentary Assembly ~~semblee parlementaire ~~~ ~ ;;§=::-- CONSEIL DE !.:EUROPE DELEGATION TO THE PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE January Session- 25 to 28 January 2021 The Assembly brings together 324 men and women from the parliaments of the Council of Europe's 47 member states. Though it contains many voices, reflecting political opinion across the continent, its mission is to uphold the shared values of human rights, democracy and the rule oflaw that are the "common heritage" of the peoples ofEurope. Though its texts are not binding, the Assembly speaks on behalfof 800 million Europeans and the 47 Council ofEurope governments must give a collective reply. It is the democratic conscience of Greater Europe. The Assembly initiates international treaties; it debates and adopts recommendations and provides guidelines for the Committee of Ministers, national governments and parliaments; elects the Secretary General, the Human Rights Commissioner and the judges to the European Court ofHuman Rights; it provides a democratic forum for debate and monitors elections; its committees play an important role in examining current issues. The Assembly held its 2021 winter plenary session from January 25 to 28 in a hybrid manner, allowing members to participate remotely or attend in person in Strasbourg. Members of the Maltese Delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe - January 2021 Hon Emmanuel Mallia Head of Delegation Hon Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici Member with voting rights Hon Rosianne Cutaj ar Member with voting rights Hon Jason Azzopardi Substitute Member Hon Ian Castaldi Paris Substitute Member Hon Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi Substitute Member For this session, Hon Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi voted as alternative to Hon Rosianne Cutajar. Delegation Secr~tary: Ms Anna Schembri Coleiro Assembly • Adopting its final agenda at the opening of the 2021 winter plenary session (Annex A), the Assembly decided to hold current affairs debates on "The arrest and detention of Alexei Navalny in January 2021" and on "Freedom of expression (Article 10 of the ECHR) under threat by 'Big Tech' Companies". • The Assembly debated the ethical, legal and practical considerations of COVID-19 vaccmes. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus addressed parliamentarians in the debate. • Other topics on the agenda included ethnic profiling in Europe, restrictions on NGO activities in Council of Europe member States, and discrimination against persons dealing with chronic and long-term illnesses. • The European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders addressed the members of the Assembly and answered their questions, as did the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Gennany, Heiko Maas (withjn the framework of the German presidency of the Committee of Ministers) and the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija PejCinovic Buric. • Debates were also held on the independence of judges in Poland and in the Republic of Moldova (with the participation of Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, former Federal Minister of Justice of Ge1many), on the implementation of judgments of the European Cowt of Human Rights and on the progress of the Assembly's monitoring procedme. Elections During the January prut-session, four elections were held by individual electronic voting (A1mex B). The Assembly elected the Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe , the Secretary General of the Assembly and the judges to the European Cowt of Human Rjghts in respect of Greece and Switzerland. (Annexes C, D, E and F). Challenge, on substantive grounds, of the still unratified credentials of the parliamentary delegation of the Russian Federation (Annex G) PACE has ratified the credentials of the Russian parliamentary delegation by a lru·ge majority after they were challenged on substantive grounds on the opening day of the session - but has deplored a number of"negative tendencies" in the country with regard to democracy, the rule of law and human rights, and called on Russia to fulfil all the recommendations made in a series of recent Assembly resolutions. In a resolution based on a report by Stefan Sche1mach (Austria, SOC), the Assembly said it was committed to dialogue as a means of reaching lasting solutions and pointed out that it remained a platform where the Russian delegation could be "held accountable on the basis of the Council of Europe's values and principles". However, it also listed its concerns, citing: * a constitutional provision enabling Russia's Constitutional Court to declare a judgment of the European Court of Human Rights as "non-executable" * a new law which makes a solution to the Crimea issue, m line with international law, "virtually impossible" (the Assembly also made clear that ratification of the credentials "would in no way constitute recognition, even implicit, of the mmexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation"). * the "crackdown on civil society, extra-parliamentary opposition and critical joumalists, as well as restrictions imposed by the Russian authorities on basic freedoms" *restrictive amendments to laws on the activities ofNGOs and the media, the conduct of public events, and the protection of State security, as well as laws limiting the human rights ofLGBTI persons * the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, and the lack of any meaningful investigation by the Russian authorities, as we11 as his recent arrest and detention in Moscow, and arrests and the use of violence against peaceful demonstrators supporting him. The Assembly called for Mr Navalny's release, as well as that of peaceful demonstrators and supporters tmduly detained, and urged Russia to review a number of laws to bring them into line with Council of Europe standards. It also called for the COLmcil of Europe's School of Political Studies to be removed from the list of "undesirable organisations". The Assembly said it "expects that its clear offer of a meaningful dialogue will be taken up so as to lead to tangible and concrete results". The Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs (Committee on Rules of Procedure) was of the opinion that the proposal contained in the report of the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) to ratify the credentials of the Russian parliamentary delegation (Doc. 15216) was in accordance with the Parliamentary Assembly's Rules of Procedure and the Statute of the Council of Europe (ETS No. 1). However, it had to be emphasised that by virtue of the obligation of States and international organisations under international law not to recognise the consequences of the illegal a1mexation of a territory, the ratification of the credentials of the Russian delegation by the Assembly would in no way constitute recognition, even implicit, ofthe annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Maltese Delegation voted in favour of this Resolution. (See Annex G). Texts adopted by the Assembly (Annex H) Recommendations Recommendation 2193 (2021) The implementation of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (Doc. 15123 and addendum) Recommendation 2194 (2021) Restrictions on NGO activities in Council of Europe member States (Doc. 15205) Resolutions Resolution 2357 (2021) Progress of the Assembly's monitoring procedure (January-December 2020) (Doc. 15211 ) Resolution 2358 (2021) The implementation of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (Doc. 15123 and addendum) Resolution 2359 (2021) Judges in Poland and in the Republic of Moldova must remain independent (Doc. 15204) Resolution 2360 (2021) Modification of the Assembly's Rules of Procedure- follow-up to Resolution 2319 (2020) on the Complementary joint procedure between the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly in response to a serious violation by a member State of its statutory obligations (Doc. 15093) Resolution 2361 (2021) Covid-19 vaccines: ethical, legal and practical considerations (Doc. 15212) Resolution 2362 (2021) Restrictions on NGO activities in Council of Europe member States (Doc. 15205) Resolution 2363 (2021) Challenge, on substantive grounds, of the still unratified credentials of the parliamentary delegation of the Russian Federation (Doc. 15216) Resolution 2364 (2021) Ethnic profiling in Europe: a matter of great concern (Doc.15199) Hon Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici Member February 2021 Annexes to Report: Annex A- Agenda of the First Part of the 2021 Ordinary Session Annex B-Results ofVotes of Electronic Elections Annex C - Election of the Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe Annex D - Election of the Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Annex E - Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights - Greece Annex F - Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights - Switzerland Annex G - Challenge, on substantive grounds, of the still unratified credentials of the parliamentary delegation of the Russian Federation • Report Doc 15216 • Resolution Doc 2363 • Committee Opinion Doc 15218 • Written Amendments Doc 15216 • Vote on Resolution Annex H - Texts Adopted by the Assembly ·t Parliamentary Assembly Assemblee parlementaire ~~~ s1i'W'ilJIIllil'I'Mj1fil1.

AS/Ega (2018) PV 07 add. 14 December 2018 Original: English Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination Minutes of the joint hearing on “Protecting the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities with regard to involuntary measures in psychiatry”, held in Strasbourg, on 9 October 2018, from 8.30 to 10 am Mr Schennach, Chairperson of the Committee Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development opened the meeting, welcoming members of the two committees and the distinguished guests who had accepted to participate in the hearing. He set the background for the hearing: in its Recommendation 2091 (2016), the Assembly had asked the Committee of Ministers to instruct the Committee on Bioethics to withdraw the proposal to draw up an Additional Protocol to the Oviedo Convention concerning the protection of human rights and dignity of persons with mental disorder with regard to involuntary placement and involuntary treatment, which was at the time at the initial stage of drafting. The drafting process had, however, continued. The Assembly was now being consulted on the draft Additional Protocol in the context of an informal procedure. This hearing would provide food for thought for the comments to be prepared by the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development and the Committee on Equality and Non- Discrimination. Ms Ioan, Chairperson of the Council of Europe Committee on Bioethics (DH-BIO) explained that the draft Additional Protocol was needed due to legal gaps in certain member states regarding measures for involuntary placement or treatment, and the increasing number of human rights violations found by the European Court of Human Rights in this field.

M Ä R Z 2 0 2 0 | N R . 0 5 Elisabeth Motschmann Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Bremerinnen und Bremer, Die Woche im überblick liebe Bremerhavenerinnen und Bremerhavener, das Corona-Virus stellt uns als Land und als Wichtiges Kurz & Knapp - 4 Gesellschaft auf eine unerwartete Probe. Aber wir können sie bestehen, wenn wir beweisen, dass wir Bericht aus Berlin - 9 nicht nur 82 Millionen Einzelpersonen sind, sondern eine Gemeinschaft Moin, Bremen & Bremerhaven - 11 Die Politik darf bei harten Maßnahmen gegen das Virus nicht zögern. Wenn Gesundheitsminister Daten & Fakten - 13 Jens Spahn und Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder vorübergehend Schulen schließen wollen, dann verdient das die Unterstützung der Bevölkerung. Dies dient unserem Schutz. Kein Corona-Kranker muss sich schämen. Bald werden wir alle jemanden kennen, der das Virus hat. Wir müssen zu ihnen stehen. Ermuntern, ermutigen wir sie mit einem Anruf oder einer SMS.Unser Land stand in Augenblicken großer Anstrengung und großen Glücks zusammen. Während der Oder-Flut und während des Sommermärchens. Genauso müssen wir Deutschen in der Coronakrise zusammenstehen. Wichtiges kurz & knapp Planungssicherheit erhöhen, Arbeitsplätze schützen Die deutsche Wirtschaft ist zehn Jahre hintereinander gewachsen und deshalb gut gerüstet. Die Folgen der Corona-Epidemie für Unternehmen und Beschäftigte sind momentan nur schwer absehbar. Der Koalitionsausschuss hat am Sonntag erste konkrete Beschlüsse gefasst. Dazu gehören unter anderem ein flexiblerer Zugang zum Kurzarbeitergeld, kurzfristig wirksame steuerliche Erleichterungen für Unternehmen und dauerhaft höhere öffentliche Investitionen für den Wohnungsbau und für Digitalisierungs- und Verkehrsprojekte. Alle beschlossenen steuerlichen Maßnahmen gehen auf Vorarbeiten der CDU/CSU-Fraktion zurück. Wir wollen mit kluger und passgenauer Unterstützung die Planungssicherheit aller Beteiligten erhöhen und Arbeitsplätze schützen.

Mr Givi Javashvili, Chairman of the National Council on Bioethics; Professor and Head of the Family Medicine Department of Tbilisi State Medical University (Georgia), was delayed due to the public transport strike, and arrived later on during the exchange of views. Mr Sánchez Ibáñez pointed out that tissue and cell donations played an important role in health care, research and the pharmaceutical industry. One donor could improve up to 100 lives. An absence of financial gain was paramount. The only area where profits were allowed was the production of medicinal products, because developing such products involved extensive manipulation and was very costly. Donors should give explicit consent for this type of use. In other areas, prices should reflect the operational costs of the tissue establishments, and there should be no profit.

  • Uef-Spinelli Group
    UEF-SPINELLI GROUP MANIFESTO 9 MAY 2021 At watershed moments in history, communities need to adapt their institutions to avoid sliding into irreversible decline, thus equipping themselves to govern new circumstances. After the end of the Cold War the European Union, with the creation of the monetary Union, took a first crucial step towards adapting its institutions; but it was unable to agree on a true fiscal and social policy for the Euro. Later, the Lisbon Treaty strengthened the legislative role of the European Parliament, but again failed to create a strong economic and political union in order to complete the Euro. Resulting from that, the EU was not equipped to react effectively to the first major challenges and crises of the XXI century: the financial crash of 2008, the migration flows of 2015- 2016, the rise of national populism, and the 2016 Brexit referendum. This failure also resulted in a strengthening of the role of national governments — as shown, for example, by the current excessive concentration of power within the European Council, whose actions are blocked by opposing national vetoes —, and in the EU’s chronic inability to develop a common foreign policy capable of promoting Europe’s common strategic interests. Now, however, the tune has changed. In the face of an unprecedented public health crisis and the corresponding collapse of its economies, Europe has reacted with unity and resolve, indicating the way forward for the future of European integration: it laid the foundations by starting with an unprecedented common vaccination strategy, for a “Europe of Health”, and unveiled a recovery plan which will be financed by shared borrowing and repaid by revenue from new EU taxes levied on the digital and financial giants and on polluting industries.
