"Truly transnational European political parties and foundations are key to articulating the voices of citizens at European level, and generating Europe-wide public debates.
|
“Fondazioni e partiti politici europei, che siano veramente transnazionali, rappresentano uno strumento fondamentale per esprimere la voce dei cittadini e dar vita a dibattiti pubblici a livello europeo.
|
7 |
They have a central role to play in shaping the debate on European issues, which in view of the 2014 European elections, promises to be lively in the years to come.
|
Il loro ruolo è cruciale per dare forma al confronto su questioni europee che, in vista delle elezioni del 2014, si preannuncia animato negli anni a venire.
|

This ambitious proposal is an important step towards consolidating European democracy".
|
Questa ambiziosa proposta rappresenta un passo importante verso il consolidamento della democrazia europea”.
|

To be recognised as a European political party or a European political foundation, such organisations will have to meet high standards on internal democracy, governance, accountability, transparency, and respect for the values on which the Union is founded.
|
Per essere riconosciute come partito politico europeo o fondazione politica europea, queste organizzazioni dovranno rispettare standard elevati di democrazia interna, governance, responsabilità, trasparenza e rispetto per i valori su cui si fonda l’Unione europea.
|
10 |
All aspects of party funding will be subject to a comprehensive set of rules, including strict reporting and control requirements.
|
Tutti gli aspetti del finanziamento dei partiti saranno disciplinati da un quadro esaustivo di disposizioni comprendenti obblighi in materia di rendicontazione e controllo.
|
11 |
A regime of administrative sanctions will be introduced in case of infringements.
|
Per i casi di violazione sarà introdotto un regime di sanzioni amministrative.
|
12 |
There will be no impact on the overall amounts made available under the EU budget for funding of political parties and foundations. But the rules governing such funding will be streamlined and adapted to their specific situation and needs.
|
La proposta non inciderà sugli importi complessivi messi a disposizione a carico dal bilancio dell’UE per il finanziamento dei partiti politici e delle fondazioni, ma semplificherà le norme che disciplinano il finanziamento adeguandole alle situazioni ed esigenze specifiche dei destinatari.
|

European political parties would have to publish the names of donors contributing more than €1,000/year, while the annual limit on individual donations would rise from €12,000 to €25,000.

I partiti politici europei dovranno pubblicare i nomi dei donatori che offrono contributi superiori a 1 000 euro l’anno, mentre si prevede di aumentare il limite annuale delle singole donazioni da 12 000 a 25 000 euro.
