lpv:translated text	". I voted for this report on the Directive regarding the right to 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. Parliament’s original intention was to enable candidates to stand in more than one constituency at the same election. This licence is permitted by the 1976 Act on Direct Elections but in practice not regulated for. Disagreements in Council on this matter have prevented action from being taken in time for European elections. The Council has concentrated on alleviating some of the burden placed on national authorities. In essence, this consists of verifying whether or not somebody has been disbarred from standing as a candidate in their own state. Therefore, we are far from meeting Parliament’s ambitious goals. There are just some modest improvements to the current situation in terms of administrative convenience for the prospective candidate. However, with the ordinary legislative procedure it was not possible to obtain more from the Council if we wanted some improvements at the next European elections in 2014."@en1
