Two months before the 2014 European Parliament elections, the Commission issued a preliminary report on the implementation of its Recommendation, reviewing its recommendation that European and national political parties identify, ahead of the elections, their candidate for the function of Commission President and outline the candidate's programme, and noting that six European political parties had acted on the Recommendation.
Komisija je izdala preliminarno izvješće o provedbi svoje Preporuke, u kojem se preispituje preporuka da europske i nacionalne političke stranke prije izbora utvrde svoje kandidate za funkciju predsjednika Komisije i daju opći pregled programa tog kandidata te se ističe da je šest europskih političkih stranaka djelovalo u skladu s tom Preporukom.
