Challenge on procedural grounds of the still unratified credentials of the parliamentary delegation of Andorra

Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional Affairs

Rapporteur : Ms Petra De SUTTER, Belgium, SOC

Origin - Reference to committee: Assembly decision, Reference 4360 of 22 January 2018. 2018 - First part-session

Summary

At the opening of the Parliamentary Assembly’s 2018 session, the still unratified credentials of the parliamentary delegation of Andorra were challenged on the ground that the delegation comprised no female representative in violation of Rule 6.2.a of the Rules of Procedure.

Bearing in mind the assurances provided by the Andorran delegation to ensure full compliance with the condition laid down by the Rules of Procedure at the earliest opportunity, the Committee on Rules of Procedure proposes that the Assembly ratify the credentials of the delegation, but provide for the automatic suspension of the voting rights of its members in the Assembly and its bodies in accordance with Rule 10.1.c of the Rules of Procedure, with effect from the April 2018 part-session, if the composition of the delegation has not been brought into conformity with Rule 6.2.a of the Rules of Procedure.
