"In our motion for a resolution on the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, we considered that the European political parties should nominate a candidate for the post of Commission President. It is a question of endowing the next elections with a truly pan-European vision, which could, we hope, encourage more people to vote. We also adopted an amendment stipulating that as many members of the next Commission as possible should be drawn from the newly elected Members of the European Parliament, to ensure that the future Commissioners have greater political legitimacy. In addition, we have recommended that each Member State should propose both a female and a male candidate for the next College of Commissioners to ensure that a gender balance is achieved. As a member of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, I particularly welcome that provision. Finally, it is proposed that the next European elections should be held in May rather than June – 15 to 18 May or 22 to 25 May 2014 – so that they do not coincide with public holidays or holiday periods in certain Member States."@en1
