Amendment No. 2 | Doc. 14077 | 21 June 2016

The nature of the mandate of members of the Parliamentary Assembly

Signatories: Mr Serhii KIRAL, Ukraine, EC ; Mr Valeriu GHILETCHI, Republic of Moldova, EPP/CD ; Mr Serhiy SOBOLEV, Ukraine, EPP/CD ; Ms Chiora TAKTAKISHVILI, Georgia, ALDE ; Mr Leonid YEMETS, Ukraine, EPP/CD

Origin - 2016 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 6, insert the following words:

"or to the national interests of the relevant state".

Explanatory note

The additional words slightly soften the definition. According to the report, these are actions taken by parties only in relation to conduct which is damaging or disloyal to the party. But it is normal in developing countries to exclude MPs when their actions are disloyal to the national interest.
