Amendment No. 7 | Doc. 13156 | 23 April 2013
Young people's access to fundamental rights
In the draft recommendation, replace paragraph 3 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly calls on the Committee of Ministers to prepare a recommendation on "improving young people's access to fundamental rights", instructing the European Steering Committee for Youth, the Advisory Council on Youth and the Steering Committee for Education Policy and Practice, in co-operation with the European Committee for Social Cohesion, to draft this recommendation. This should bring together and complete the acquis of previous Committee of Ministers' recommendations, also building on the following texts: key proposals put forward by Youth sector representatives at the Conference of Ministers responsible for Youth held in St Petersburg from 24 to 25 September 2012; the text adopted by the Youth Assembly held in Strasbourg from 5 to 7 October 2012; and relevant resolutions and recommendations of the Parliamentary Assembly".
Explanatory note
The idea of the preparation of a binding instrument in this field has not enjoyed consensus in the Council of Europe and in this context it would be more appropriate to concentrate efforts on the Committee of Ministers'work on a recommendation on "improving young people's access to fundamental rights".
