"I voted in favour of this proposal on increasing the participation of EU citizens in the European Parliament elections to be held in 2014. The resolution is aimed at urging the European political parties to propose candidates for the Presidency of the Commission before the EP elections. The aim is for discussions on these candidates to be made the main emphasis of the 2014 EP election campaign, thus encouraging citizens to become more actively involved in the elections and to vote in them. The aim is also for a certain number of future European Commission members to be chosen among newly-elected MEPs, thus representing EU citizens more effectively. The resolution also calls for greater gender balance to be ensured in the Commission. I welcome the proposals set out here and the proposal to hold the 2014 elections at the end of May instead of June, in order to give the European Parliament more time to prepare for the election of the future Commission President."@en1
