Origin - 2017 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 10, replace the second sentence with the following sentences:

"In a Europe of concentric circles, the Heads of State and Government from the 47 member States of the Council of Europe, representing the widest circle, should ensure coherence of standards between the Council of Europe and the European Union, avoid overlapping and best harmonise the various levels of their co-operation, in the foremost interest of European citizens. For this purpose, the Assembly asks member states to discuss again the 2006 report "A sole ambition for Europe" and to decide a specific timetable to implement the proposals contained therein in order to remove any overlap between the Council of Europe and the European Union."
