Despite the proven expertise of Yves Mersch, I voted against his appointment as a member of the Executive Board of the ECB. Had he been appointed, the 23 members of the Governing Council would have effectively excluded women until 2018. It is a shame that the Council did not consider this, since numerous other candidates would have been equally qualified for the role. It is not the man himself I object to, nor his ideas or nationality, but a lack of consistency among Council members who on the one hand advocate gender parity, and on the other show a blatant disregard for this principle in their choice of candidate. This sends out a disastrous political message for all those – of either gender – who campaign for the increased representation of women in senior management. I trust the Council will never present us with this type of dilemma again, so that our candidate is never again the unwitting accomplice of old-fashioned sexism."@en1
