lpv:translated text	"This resolution, which was adopted by a significant majority, urges the European political families to nominate candidates for the Presidency of the Commission and expects those candidates to play a leading role in the parliamentary electoral campaign. This objective stems from the importance of enhancing the political legitimacy of Parliament and the Commission, by associating the respective elections more directly with the choice of voters. I voted for this resolution as I consider that it is useful for triggering a debate on how to ensure greater citizen participation in the European institutions and reinforce European democracy. In fact, I am not convinced that nominating candidates for the Presidency of the Commission will increase citizen participation, and I also fear that this approach will completely rule out candidates from small countries from the top jobs in the EU, thus increasing the gap between the large and small countries."@en1
