"I voted in favour of this report because I think that it is a good initiative which is needed to ensure that the EU has a more transparent, stable, reliable and accountable corporate sector, with better corporate governance, where consideration is given to the complexity and type of company, so that the measures which need to be applied to companies are also adapted to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises in helping them to be competitive. The document includes some aspects which did not, unfortunately, feature in the European Commission’s Green Paper of 5 April 2011, such as: board decision making, directors’ accountability and independence, conflicts of interest or stakeholders’ involvement. I consider it of paramount importance for boards of directors to have independent, competent members who have been recruited using transparent methods, also based on merit. I also voted to give equal opportunities to women and men. Another point which I welcome is the decision for Member States to set limits on the number of boards of directors on which a person can serve and the fact that directors must devote sufficient time to performing their duties."@en1
