On March 21 Tatarstan Parliament Speaker, Chairman of Current Affairs Committee of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Council of Europe Farid Mukhametshin arrived in Strasbourg to participate in the 30th session of the Congress. Main issue on the agenda was “Ethical standards and transparency at the local and regional levels.”
Today, the head of the republican parliament took part in the meetings of the Bureau of the Chamber of Regions and Bureau of the Congress. Participants discussed arrangements for the forthcoming session, priority activities for 2017 - 2020 and a number of other issues. During press-conference Farid Mukhametshin commented on the Bureau’s agenda.
“If the degree of tension around Ukrainian conflict has gradually subsided, and European colleagues are now mainly focused on the mandatory implementation of the Minsk agreements, then the situation around Turkey is escalating. Here, I am talking about violation of human rights at the regional and local levels. These positions were expressed by representatives of several countries at today's meeting of the Bureau of the Congress. We have declined to comment the situation, the debate still continues. I suppose a special working group will visit the troubled region no later than April - May this year,” F. Mukhametshin said.
The session of the Congress will run for three days. Tomorrow Farid Mukhametshin will hold a meeting of the Current Affairs Committee to discuss the aspects of regionalization in Europe. The key issue of the agenda “Strategy to combat radicalization” is to be considered at the plenary session of the Congress this Tuesday.
Tatarstan Parliament Speaker plans to meet with the leadership of the Congress, heads of pan-European institutions, representatives of Austria, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden and other countries. [endif][if gte mso 9][endif][if gte mso 10][endif]
