lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of the report on the right to stand as a candidate in elections to the European Parliament for citizens of the Union residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals. According to EU law, EU citizens residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals have the right to vote or to stand in European Parliament elections subject to the same conditions as citizens of the respective state. It is essential to ensure, however, that no citizen may vote more than once or stand as a candidate in more than one Member State in the same election. I agree with the amendment of Directive 93/109/EC, which lays down means of preventing such a practice. The proposal aims to replace the obligation for Member States to exchange information about nationals entered on electoral rolls or standing as candidates with more simple measures that offer the necessary guarantees and deterrents. I agree with the proposal that citizens wishing to stand as a candidate should be obliged to provide an official declaration that they are not disqualified from standing."@en1
