"I welcome the adoption of the Casini resolution on the right to vote and stand in EP elections for EU citizens living in other Member States. The proposed changes would make it easier for citizens of other Member States to vote and to stand in EP elections in their Member State of residence, for example by removing the current obligation upon them to apply to their Member State of origin for a certificate proving that they have not forfeited any of their civic rights; the ‘burden of proof’ will now lie with the electoral authorities in the Member State of residence. I particularly welcome the proposals that future Commissioners should be chosen as far as possible from newly elected MEPs, and that Member States designate both a male and a female candidate in order to ensure gender balance within the next Commission."@en1
