| EXPLANATORY STATEMENT |

|
The rapporteur welcomes the Commission proposal for a regulation amending the Financial Regulation as regards the financing of European political parties, which accompanies the Commission proposal for a regulation on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations. Integrating many of the demands contained in Parliament’s resolution of 6 April 2011, both proposals effectively address the shortcomings in the current legal framework and the funding system of political parties and political foundations at Union level. The new legal bases will enable European political parties to efficiently fulfil their role as foreseen by the Treaties: forming European political awareness and expressing the will of citizens of the Union. In particular, the rapporteur supports the creation of sui generis contributions as a new type of EU funding, tailor-made for European political parties, which accounts for their specific needs and characteristics. The new system of contributions also involves some important simplifications for European political parties, such as the abolition of the annual work programme, greater flexibility regarding the time limits to use EU funds, and a pre-financing of 100%. One of the rapporteur’s aims has been to ensure the highest possible degree of coherence between the two legislative texts by adapting her report to the modifications of the financial rules in the Giannakou report which are likely to be adopted by AFCO. This concerns primarily the possibility to fund events jointly with political groups in the EP, and the possibility to fund referenda campaigns relating to EU legislation or institutions at national, regional or local level. It bears noting, however, that further adaptations might be necessary following the votes on the Giannakou report in AFCO. Furthermore, after examination of the Court of Auditors’ Opinion No 1/2013 of 7 February concerning both Commission proposals, the rapporteur has decided to take up some of the Court’s recommendations, which she is convinced will increase legal certainty and the accountability of financial actors. As to the carry-over rules for European political foundations, the rapporteur shares the Commission’s view that the possibility to use amounts received from the EU budget until the year n+2 should be restricted to European political parties, given their specific needs related to the funding of election campaigns. Extending this exception to political foundations is both unjustified, in particular with regard to other beneficiaries of grants from the EU budget, and unnecessary, because most of the difficulties that foundations encountered with the grant system will disappear with the application of the simplified provisions in the new Financial Regulation. For instance, it is no longer necessary to lodge a guarantee for pre-financing, and the building up of reserves from own sources is now actively encouraged. Nevertheless, for the sake of continuity, and taking account of the close link between foundations and parties as well as of the fact that the EU funding for parties and foundations is usually provided with a long-term perspective, the rapporteur suggests to give European political foundations some additional flexibility in their financial planning by preserving Article 125(6) of the Financial Regulation as amended. | ||||

SHORT JUSTIFICATION The rapporteur welcomes the Commission proposal for a Regulation amending the Financial Regulation as regards the financing of European political parties, which accompanies the Commission proposal for a regulation on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations. The reform of the Financial Regulation is a result of the modifications introduced by this Regulation. As mentioned in the article 10 of the Treaty of the European Union “Political parties at European level contribute to forming European political awareness and to expressing the will of citizens in the Union”, and in the art. 12.(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union “Political parties at the Union level contribute to expressing the political will of the citizens of the Union”, the European political parties contribute to setting the opinion and expressing the political will of the citizens of the Union. By those contributions, the European political parties become a driving force of integration at European level and can play a strong role in the strengthening of the European demos. Being institutions founded on the private initiative but accomplishing significant public functions, European parties have a deep-rooted ground in the society and an unequivocal institutional aim. There are many reasons justifying the public financing of the political parties, which requires a specific legal regulation different from the purely private associations. In particular, this financing contributes to ensure the implementation of the activity of the political parties, it boosts their stability as far as they maintain the support of a significant part of the European citizens, it eliminates, reduces or compensates the possible discrimination as a result of the different attraction towards the private donators and it is a positive incentive against the irregular financing and corruption. The rapporteur welcomes the new modification of the financial regulation calling for an end to the system of the grants and the creation of a new financing instrument tailored specifically to the funding of the European political parties and foundations. As proposed by the EC, the Political parties should be financed through a new instrument called “contributions”, rather than through an operating grant, as it is currently the case. Moreover, the abolition of the "Annual work programme" of the political parties will give them more flexibility in planning their activities. This disposal, not included in the legislation of other Member States, was found inappropriate as the control should be made on the expenditure but not in the actions. The reduction of the co-financing is also to be welcomed. The Commission proposal will contribute to reduce the possible discrimination among parties resulting from the private sector revenue. Furthermore, the rapporteur supports the introduction of an eligibility criterion in order to receive financing and the abolition of the selection criteria. In addition, the rapporteur welcomes the initiative of the Commission to allow political parties to build up reserves and carry-over of funds on the compromise held in n+2 years. However, and as differently suggested from the BUDG committee, the rapporteur considers that, not only political parties, but also foundations should have this right in order to accomplish their tasks of research. The rapporteur also appreciates the idea that the contributions are paid in one pre-financing payment covering 100% of the sum and derogate Article 5 of the Financial Regulation. With the new proposal, any interest yielded by the pre-financing amounts perceived by the European political parties should be used to pay reimbursable expenditures within the following two financial years. What is important is that the political parties can keep what has not been spent and report it to another financial year. Furthermore, after examination of the Court of Auditors’ Opinion No 1/2013 of 7 February concerning both Commission proposals, and after having some exchange of views with the rapporteur in BUDG, the rapporteur has decided to take up some of the Court’s recommendations and BUDG´s point of views, which will increase legal certainty and financial rigorousness. Finally, the rapporteur warmly welcomes the idea to establish a penalty and control regime by the OLAF, the Court of Auditors and the prominent role of the European Parliament. This system of penalties should include both administrative and financial sanctions.
