violence against women, we are not talking about something. We are talking about the number one or number two crime in the whole of the world. I was just paying a visit to Mexico, and I was reminded there, especially by the two female Presidents of both Houses and nine out of ten female Chairs of committees, that this is number one for the Mexican society. If we cannot deal with violence against women and girls, then talking about human rights becomes a bit idle, I would say. And the good news is that both presidents of the Parliament have issued together with me a statement that we want now Mexico to sign and ratify the Istanbul Convention. And last, in the direction of my good friend Theodoros, he has promised us that he will look whether he can nominate a good candidate. He said a woman. It is not obliged that you have to nominate a woman, but it's not that you should intend to do it. I think that the result of this panel is that we all are obliged. If you do not know someone who would deserve this Prize, then I would say open your eyes, look around. If you then still do not see anything, then you are socially, politically and ideologically blind. So, I hope, and I would like to demand all of you, that you come at least up with one candidate. The selection panel, Rósa and others. They will take care if you come up with hundreds of proposals, they will select one winner. But I think we should feel this obligation, this Prize is more than doing something. It is also to encourage us all that we have to come up with proposals to show that there is not one role model. There are many of them. We only have to open our eyes, identify which group, which person, man, woman, whatever deserves this Prize. And then I think in June we will have a more than beautiful handing over of the Prize of this year. Thank you very much.

Ms Mariia Mezentseva, Chairperson of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination of the Parliamentary Assembly Indeed, colleagues, please share the information for those who may become amazing nominees. And among the thanking words given to Despina, President Tiny Kox, our honourable panellists, I would want to thank two more people in this room who are currently and always supporting our initiative. This is Ms Louise Barton, Director of the committees, and of course, the Secretariat of the Equality Committee and Non-Discrimination, Penelope Denu, as the Head of Secretariat and all the members of the Secretariat. Thank you. Dear friends, I see that you would want to extend the discussion further, but let's extend the actions further and have some food for thought, but also food for stomach. Thank you so much. The ceremony is over.
