"The Commission President for the five-year term from 2015 to 2019 will be the first to be elected by MEPs, rather than being chosen by the European Council with ratification by the European Parliament. This is one way of democratically legitimising the Commission President. It requires the elections to be brought forward to May, as the new EP needs sufficient time to organise itself before the election of the Commission President and choice of the Commissioners who, in turn, will have to prepare the draft EU budget for 2015 so that it can be adopted in good time to enter into force on 1 January 2015. So that the new Commission is ready to assume its duties on 1 November 2014, the election of the Commission President must take place during Parliament’s constitutive sitting in July 2014. I voted in favour and hope that the next EP elections will be used to talk about the need for more and better Europe in the future."@en1
