"− I voted in favour of the appointment of Yves Mersch to the Executive Board of the European Central Bank. Although I understand the arguments on gender non-discrimination which were put forward within both my political group and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs to motivate a rejection of his candidacy, I decided to vote against this line. Mr Mersch’s professional experience recommends him for this post. I agree that we must bring about gender balance in all institutional management bodies, but these decisions are taken at another level. To penalise Mr Mersch on the basis of gender criteria may itself lead to discrimination."@en1
