"The message is clear: as MEPs, we would like the Executive Board of the ECB to have at least one female member. It is not Mr Mersch’s expertise we are questioning by voting against his appointment. Simply, it is inconceivable that in 2012 we should be taking such a backward step. The European Union – and the European Parliament in particular – has always been particularly active in advocating women’s rights, gender equality and the utmost respect for parity in our public institutions and companies. We cannot preach this to others and yet fail to apply it ourselves. The European Council can no longer ignore the will of the European people. As their representatives, we ask it to nominate a female candidate without further delay."@en1
