EDC responds to Ombudsman decision on Authority for European Parties

Since March 2020, European Democracy Consulting has been working on an assessment of the implementation of transparency provisions under Article 32 of Regulation 1141/2014 on European political parties. This work has led to several reports and to an inquiry by the European Ombudsman. On 4 February, we concluded this process with recommendations for the reform of Regulation 1141/2014. On 26 March 2020, European Democracy Consulting shared with the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations (APPF) <a href="https://eudemocracy.eu/failure-appf-transparency-requirements" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">a report</a> highlighting perceived failures by the APPF to abide by its transparency requirements. <a href="https://louisdrounau.medium.com/edc-responds-to-ombudsman-decision-on-authority-for-european-parties-692c2c70bba0">Website</a>
