PURPOSE: to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No\n1141/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council with a view\nto strengthening the European dimension of European political\nparties and increasing transparency while guaranteeing the proper\nuse of European funds.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European\nParliament shall decide in accordance with the ordinary legislative\nprocedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: Regulation\n(EU, Euratom) No. 1141/2014 establishes a specific European\nlegal status for European political parties and political\nfoundations to benefit from and provides for their funding from the\ngeneral budget of the European Union. It was introduced to increase\nthe visibility, recognition, effectiveness, transparency and\naccountability of European political parties and their affiliated\npolitical foundations.
\nDespite the progress made by Regulation No 1141/2014,\nthe European Parliament and a number of European political\nparties have called for an improvement of these\nrules.
\nOn 15 June 2017, Parliament adopted a resolution\ncalling upon the Commission to propose a revision of the current\nlegal framework as soon as possible to address its shortcomings,\nespecially with respect to the level of co-financing\nrequested, and of the possibility of multi-party membership of\nEuropean Parliaments' Members.
\nIn its 2017\nReport on EU Citizenship Rights, the Commission recognised that\nthe functioning of the EU is founded on representative democracy.\nThis requires transparency and an accessible, accountable political\nculture, supported by an effective electoral system and an informed\nand engaged electorate.
\nThe current proposal is aligned to and complements\nthese priorities and in addition to the issues set out in the\nprevious section therefore includes some changes to enhance the\ntransparency of the link between parties at Member State level and\nthe European parties with which they are\naffiliated.
\nThe aim is to ensure that the limited resources of the\nEU budget are well allocated and spent, as well as avoiding\ncircumvention of existing rules.
\nThe Commission considers that these focused changes\nshould be introduced before the 2019 European elections.
\nCONTENT: the Commission proposes to make a limited\nnumber of amendments to Regulation No 1141/2014 in order\nto:
\nThe main elements of the proposal are:
\nRegistration: in order\nto strengthen the link between policies at national and Union level\nand to prevent a single national party artificially creating\nseveral European political parties with identical or similar\npolitical trends, the Commission proposes to amend the rules so\nthat only parties, and no longer individuals, can sponsor the\ncreation of a European political party.
\nCo-financing: European\nfoundations and political parties are currently struggling to meet\nthe co-financing threshold of 15%. The Commission therefore\nproposes that the co-financing obligation should be reduced to 10%\nfor European political parties and 5% for European political\nfoundations. Thus, a greater share of public funding earmarked\nfor these parties and foundations could be used, for example for\nelection campaigns.
\nTransparency: it is\nproposed to impose an additional condition for a European political\nparty to receive funding, which would require it to report on the\npublication, on its member parties' websites, of its political\nprogramme and logo as well as and information on the gender\nrepresentation among the candidates at the last elections to the\nEuropean Parliament and its members of the European\nParliament.
\nProportionality of EU funding: the allocation of resources from the general budget\nof the European Union should objectively reflect the genuine\nelectoral support of a European political party. To this end, the\nCommission proposes that the respective appropriations available to\nthose European political parties and European political foundations\nwhich have been awarded contributions or grants shall be\ndistributed annually on the basis of the following distribution\nkey: (i) 5 % shall be distributed in equal shares among the\nbeneficiary European political parties; (ii) 95 % shall be\ndistributed in proportion to their share of elected members of the\nEuropean Parliament among the beneficiary European political\nparties.
\nDe-registration: the\nproposal provides for the possibility of de-registering a European\npolitical party or foundation if they no longer fulfil the\nconditions for registration or if the information on the basis\nof which the registration decision was taken is incorrect or\nmisleading.
\nProtection of the EUs financial\ninterests: in the event of\ninfringements, the authorising officer of the European Parliament\nshould be able to recover amounts unduly paid.
\nReview: the Commission\nproposes to adapt the revision clause of the current Regulation so\nthat the evaluation report can be published during the first\npart of 2022 and may therefore also relate to the amendments\nproposed in this Regulation.
