lpv:translated text	"This motion for a resolution is motivated, first and foremost, by the role Parliament can play in appointing the next European Commission and, in particular, its President. We should remember that, until now, Parliament merely approved (or not) the choices of the Heads of State or Government of the EU Member States. With the Treaty of Lisbon, things have changed and now it is Parliament which will appoint the Commission President on a proposal from the Council. It is not certain that anything will fundamentally change. However, the majority of Members of the European Parliament have chosen, accordingly, to call on the ‘European political families’ to nominate candidates. The gangrene of ‘presidentialism’ therefore risks infecting the European elections to a large degree; the choice of individual men (or women) is in danger of prevailing over that of ideas. Furthermore, the European elections could take place in May 2014 (instead of June), bringing them worryingly close to the municipal elections in France and shortening the debate on European affairs. For these reasons, I voted against this motion for a resolution."@en1
