This marks a first since the Principality joined the organisation in 2004. \u201cThe governmental aspect will take centre stage, but there will be real parliamentary implications as parliamentarians from other countries are likely to accompany their ministerial delegations,\u201d Fabrice Notari, Chair of the National Council\u2019s Committee on External Relations, told Monaco Tribune last December. \u201cWe intend to raise issues close to our hearts, namely the rights of women and children. Some countries applying for membership of the Council of Europe are seeking our support. This will be an opportunity to explore the possibilities, even if the process is likely to be a long one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"YMFTyiLmPp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2026\/03\/in-pictures-inside-monaco-princely-familys-historic-day-with-pope-leo-xiv\/\">In pictures: inside Monaco Princely Family\u2019s historic day with Pope Leo XIV<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;In pictures: inside Monaco Princely Family\u2019s historic day with Pope Leo XIV&#8221; &#8212; Monaco Tribune\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2026\/03\/in-pictures-inside-monaco-princely-familys-historic-day-with-pope-leo-xiv\/embed\/#?secret=f5hnGkUr5Z#?secret=YMFTyiLmPp\" data-secret=\"YMFTyiLmPp\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p>Following the audience, Prince Albert II appointed Alain Berset as a Commander of the Order of Saint Charles.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"346224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-6-grande-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-346224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-6-grande-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-6-grande-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-6-grande.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"346228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-7-grande-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-346228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-7-grande-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-7-grande-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ma-decoration-secretaire-general-conseil-de-leurope-2026-7-grande.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 Micha\u00ebl Alesi \/ Prince\u2019s Palace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-liste-grise-au-menu-des-discussions-au-conseil-national\">The \u2018grey list\u2019 on the agenda at the National Council<\/h2>\n\n<p>Earlier in the day, the Secretary General had been welcomed to the National Council by its President, Thomas Brezzo, and members of the Monegasque delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Discussions focused primarily on the process of removing Monaco from the FATF\u2019s grey list, with the elected representatives detailing the legislative work carried out to address the recommendations of the Moneyval report. Alain Berset praised the involvement of Monegasque parliamentarians within the PACE, citing B\u00e9atrice Fresko-Rolfo\u2019s chairmanship of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination and the role of General Rapporteur on the Budget entrusted to Christophe Brico.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
