Paragraph 10
 

The Legislative Programme of the Government foresees amendments to the Law on Financing of Political Parties in 2018. A corresponding Draft Concept Document prepared by the Legal Office of the Prime Minister underwent a consultation process in October 2017. The Concept Document identified the following problems: the failure of the institutions involved to audit the political parties’ annual financial and campaign disclosure reports; the lack of publication of these reports by the political parties themselves and by the Central Election Commission (CEC), despite the existence of legal provisions for this purpose; and the lack of mechanisms of enforcement by the LFPE and related legislation (notably the LGE), of the fines and sanctions imposed on the parties for failure to respect the legal provisions.
