"I voted against this proposal and I am pleased that there was a majority of MEPs who shared my position. The relevant committee for this matter asked the Council to present a female candidate and, having been ignored, reacted negatively to the recommendation to appoint Yves Mersch as a Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank (ECB). I do not have sufficient information to say whether Mr Mersch deserves this post or not, but I cannot fail to take into consideration the fact that appointing a man would mean that there would be no women on the ECB’s Executive Board until 2018. I am also very sceptical of the procedure used. It is degrading for Parliament merely to have to ratify decisions made elsewhere."@en1
