lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as President Barroso said in his State of the Union address before this House, we need a European public space where European issues are discussed and debated from a European standpoint. We cannot continue to try to solve European problems just with national solutions and debates. The MFF is a case in point. Therefore the Commission values your engagement to enhance the European political process and to enable EU citizens to also become genuine EU political actors, be it in the context of the European elections in 2014 or beyond. The presentation by European political parties of their candidate for the post of Commission President at the European Parliament elections in 2014 would be an important step. For the choice of Commissioners, the most important aspect is that Commissioners-designate are chosen on the grounds of their competence, their European commitment and their independence. The Treaty provides a clear mechanism for the choice of Commissioners. Within this framework the European political families are always free to look for the best way to ensure the best candidatures. In any event, Parliament hears all Commissioners and must give its consent to their appointment. There are many other elements that EU institutions, European political parties and Member States can use to promote the European project with our citizens. It is now for all of us to take the appropriate and sometimes bold decisions in the run-up to the elections in 2014. It is with this in mind that the Commission will come up with proposals to enhance the democratic legitimacy of our Union."@en1
