lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am sorry to take up Members’ time. Resolutions were tabled because the committee was not satisfied with the institutional procedures and wished to obtain assurances from the Commission and the Presidency. In debate yesterday, and in written statements and letters to me, suitable assurances have been given and these will all be published. The majority recommendation of the committee now is to approve all the candidates, with which I personally agree. That means voting against all the resolutions. There were four areas in which we sought assurances. Concerning the independence of the authorities, both the Commission and the Presidency have reaffirmed respect for the provisions of independence of the authorities, their chairs, executives and board members. Concerning board representation, the Commission is being vigilant concerning the designations by the heads of the supervisory authority to the boards of supervisors, as required by the regulation, and the Presidency supported the Commission statement. Concerning adequate budgetary resources, the Commission has recognised the need to provide adequate budgetary and human resources to the authorities, with which the Presidency has agreed and, further, stated the importance of fulfilment by Member States of their obligations. Concerning the appointment procedure, we have all discovered we are bound by regulations in ways that all sides realise is inappropriate, such as the retirement age criteria projected to the end of the term of office and also on the gender issue. These will be addressed in the review, with which the Commission and the Presidency also both agree. The committee continues to insist on a role in the ongoing and future shortlisting procedures for all positions, such as that of executive director. For democratic purposes, Members wish to be able to express a preference on individual candidates, and so the resolutions have been kept on the agenda for voting. However, as I say, if you want to approve the appointments, with which I concur, then you should vote against the resolutions."@en1
