lpv:spoken text	"I believe that Mr Yves Mersch is an excellent candidate, more than qualified to serve on the board of the ECB. In particular I have been deeply impressed with Mr Mersch’s foresight on the current economic crisis and his recognition that our economic recovery demands continued commitment to austerity measures combined with further structural reforms of the eurozone economies. I am also of the belief that his doubts concerning the efficacy of a financial transaction tax are well considered and strongly agree that such a tax would simply serve to deliver added pressure to banks and financial institutions trying to improve their capital position. However, I do have some reservations concerning the selection procedure that resulted in no female candidates and recognise that if Mr Mersch is appointed the ECB board will be all male up until 2018. This is no reflection on Mr Mersch himself, who I believe to be more than qualified for this position."@en1
