Strengthening the decision-making process of the Parliamentary Assembly concerning credentials and voting

Signatories: Sir Roger GALE, United Kingdom, EC ; Mr Volodymyr ARIEV, Ukraine, EPP/CD ; Ms Nino GOGUADZE, Georgia, EC ; Mr John HOWELL, United Kingdom, EC ; Mr Ian LIDDELL-GRAINGER, United Kingdom, EC

Origin - 2019 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 12, replace the words "upon its adoption" with the following words:

"as soon as a new joint sanction mechanism with the Committee of Ministers has been established".

Explanatory note

No guarantees have been given by the Committee of Ministers that the joint procedure will actually be developed. No steps have been taken by the Committee of Ministers to even start such a procedure. Therefore it is wise to first negotiate a new procedure before deleting the existing one.
