Paragraph 13
 

The series of amendments introduced to the Law on Political Parties, the Electoral Code and other laws relevant to the financing of political parties and electoral campaigns in the Republic of Moldova during 2015-2017 brought improvements in a number of issues and some previous recommendations of the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR were taken into account. The amendments strengthened inter alia disclosure and reporting requirements on political parties and electoral contestants, supervision and sanctions available in case of violation of the rules. The 2015 reform, as complemented by some further amendments to the Electoral Code in 2017, was an important step in the right direction.
