lpv:translated text	"The next elections to Parliament will be held in 2014. In order for parties, candidates and, above all, voters to be able to prepare, it is important to establish when the election should take place. In order to make democratic legitimacy clear, it is also important for voters to have a chance to know what the alternatives are for the Commission President. I therefore voted in favour of the amendment that will deliver this and in favour of the resolution as a whole. However, because Amendment 3 was adopted, there are some things in the resolution now that I cannot support. It is contrary to the fundamental value of democracy that they must have held some sort of public position, in this case that they must have been an MEP, in order to take up a public post such as Commissioner. This will lead to people being eliminated arbitrarily, those in power becoming more elitist, and a democratic schism in Europe. This is completely unjust and something that I am against."@en1
