Rule 68 -
Hybrid
or remote committee meetings
68.1. In exceptional circumstances
which do not allow committee meetings to be held under normal conditions,
namely in the physical presence of all members, the
Bureau of the Assembly may decide, for a defined period of time,
that committee meetings will be held in a hybrid manner (combined
remote and in-person participation of members) or by electronic
means of remote communication. The decision of the
Bureau shall be taken by a simple majority of the votes cast with
a quorum of one third of the members.
68.2. The existing rules governing
the functioning of committees shall fully apply to their meetings
held in a hybrid manner or remotely, unless otherwise stipulated.
The second, fourth and fifth sentences of Rule 47.2.
and Rules 47.3.
and 47.4.
shall not apply. A committee
may take decisions when one fourth of its members are present. For any
decision,
the committees shall use the available
electronic voting system. The Rules on access to and movement and
security within the Council of Europe buildings during sessions
of the Parliamentary Assembly and meetings of Assembly committees
and sub-committees shall apply mutatis mutandis.
