lpv:translated text	". Enlargement and the need to take effective decisions have been used to justify extending qualified majority voting, as at Nice, strengthening the federal approach and the domination of decision-making by the major European powers. The ECB, the Community institution that has breached the principle that all Member States should be represented on its Executive Board, and also perhaps the least democratic and transparent of all the institutions, has made a recommendation to the Council to ‘preserve its capacity to take decisions in an effective way’. It proposes that ‘the number of governors with voting rights should be lower than the total number of governors with a seat on the Governing Council of the ECB’ and wishes to introduce a rotating system to determine who votes and when, which would mean the governors of the central banks losing their permanent voting rights, would introduce criteria of representativeness based on the size of the country’s financial sector and volume of GDP, and a system that will always ensure the presence of the major powers to the detriment of the smaller countries. This is completely unacceptable. Hence our appeal to the Portuguese Government not to accept this position and to take account of the European Parliament Resolution rejecting the ECB’s recommendation."@en1
