lpv:translated text	". Against. Today Parliament took a clear stand against the exclusion of women from decision-making bodies in the euro area. Although not binding, this vote sends out a clear political signal about the legitimate concerns that governments in European countries cannot ignore. No women have been a member of the Executive Board of the ECB since 2011, a situation made worse by the absence of female governors within the euro area’s central banks. The lack of representation of women in the highest decision-making bodies during the current euro crisis is a woeful state of affairs and confirms the impression of an ‘old boys’ network’. Unfortunately, and despite assurances from the President of the Eurogroup, Jean-Claude Juncker, that both male and female candidates would be considered to replace Mr González-Páramo, no female candidate was selected. Yet there is no shortage of qualified candidates: the appointment by the Greens of Karoline Linnert (Bremen) and Monika Heinold (Schleswig-Holstein) as finance ministers in two regions of Germany shows that gender diversity is predominantly a question of political will. The failure to consider any female candidates, despite these assurances, has left MEPs with no alternative."@en1
