Origin - 2013 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5, insert the following paragraph:

"The Parliamentary Assembly is concerned by the permanent refusal by the Russian and the de facto authorities to grant access to the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) to the former conflict zones since occupied."

Explanatory note

Despite numerous calls by the Assembly to grant access to the EUMM to both sides of ABL (Resolution 1648(2009), paragraph 24.14, 1664(2009) paragraph 13 and 15.7.3), the situation has remained unchanged. In this context, the Assembly should express its repeated concern.
