On 12 September, the Council adopted a text concerning the adoption of the Directive amending Directive 93/109/EC laying down detailed arrangements for the exercise of the right to vote and 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. At the same time, the Council decided to consult Parliament again. While the new draft falls short of Parliament’s ambitions, it does make some modest improvements to the current situation, alleviating some of the burden placed on national authorities to verify whether somebody has been disbarred from standing as a candidate in their home state. It would be convenient to have these proposals in place before the next elections in 2014. Therefore, and without prejudice to continuing to stress the need to adopt more ambitious measures (such as the possibility of double candidature and the possibility to allow the state of residence not to recognise disqualifications by the home state), the rapporteur recommends a positive opinion on the report, leaving the discussion of these issues to the next Convention. Since I agree with that view, I voted in favour of this report."@en1
