".
In the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, of which I am the Vice-Chair, the Council of the European Union consulted us on the text amending the Directive of 1993 on the right to vote and stand in elections to the European Parliament for EU citizens residing in a Member State of which they are not nationals. The objective of this was to take account of certain problems connected with double voting and double candidature. We approved this proposal because it contained modest but sensible reforms, and we hope that they will be in place before the 2014 elections. It is an improvement because, for example, it reduces bureaucracy for candidates who want to stand in their state of residence when it is not necessarily their home state."@en1
