Amendment 20 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Emphasises the important role of European political parties and foundations in contributing to the debate on European public policy issues and in forming European political awareness; stresses that Article 21 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014 encourages European political parties to conduct their own European elections campaigns, which must remain in line with Union values, and which are complementary to but distinct from the campaigns of their member parties; notes, however, that owing to restrictive measures at European and national levels, European political parties cannot fully participate in European election campaigns; stresses, moreover, that they are not allowed to campaign in referendums that concern European matters; encourages European political parties to reach an agreement on how to adapt the provisions in this resolution to develop the electoral campaign to the European elections and on how to proceed during the post-electoral process;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Calls for the enhanced visibility of European political parties in public debates and media campaigns; insists that all national political parties should make the logos of the European political parties visible on ballots; calls on the European political parties to draft manifestos in good time ahead of the elections so as to be able to share their proposals; considers that European political parties’ manifestos should be known before the elections, which requires clear and transparent rules on campaigning; welcomes in this context the European Campaign Action Plan ("E- CAP") guidance developed by the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations that assists European political parties in planning their campaigns in light of the applicable rules and principles. This guidance confirms that the participation of lead candidates ("Spitzenkandidaten") in campaigns and the distinct visibility of the European political parties are positive enablers in accordance with the existing legal framework.
