Political structures financing in the Member States - How funding is provided for the national political parties and their foundations, and political groups within the national parliaments, and how the use of funds is controlled? |
While some areas of political finance regulation have experienced a significant convergence (e.g. the expansion of state funding for parties and other political entities and the establishment of disclosure requirements), largely as a result of international standards and monitoring, others exhibit major differences across the EU Member States (e.g. limits on private donations and on spending, disclosure thresholds, nature and quality of oversight). This study underlines the need to implement international standards in order to achieve objectives in specific regulatory environment, rather than importing “off-the-shelf” solutions. |
