2. Each Member State shall submit a list of three persons, of whom at least one must be a woman, whom it considers qualified to be a European Commisionar....

I'm not sexist, but isn't langage like this kind of dangerous? What if a member state has no women seeking the position. It may not be likely, but it is possible. Does the whole thing come to a screeching halt? Apparantly there is no problem submitting 3 women for the job. I don't have a problem with that either, but you have to admit, the wording is very lopsided. So much for equal rights.

If they really wanted equal rights it would read "of whom at least one, but not more than two, must be a woman" or, just leave the whole thing out altogether.
