Paragraph 55
 

Concerning the chapter on sanctions, the first Joint Opinion recommended a range of clear and proportionate sanctions for campaign-related offences. The Electoral Code provides for a warning and eventual de-registration, which does not amount to such a range. The formula contained in Article 27.5 on sanctions remains unduly complex, while the amount of excessive campaign spending that triggers revocation of registration has been increased. Therefore, these recommendations have been only partially addressed.
