Paragraph 24
 

The draft law amends the current provisions of Article 19 of the LFPE in several respects and adds a number of new paragraphs. Most prominently, the responsibilities in this area are again re-distributed. Annual financial reports and campaign funding reports are to be submitted to the reformed and renamed “Office for registration, certification and financial control of political entities” under the CEC (hereafter the “Office”) instead of the CEC itself; the external auditors tasked to check the financial reports are selected by the Office instead of Parliament; the auditors submit their audit reports to the Office instead of the CEC; and the Office instead of the CEC is responsible for publishing the audit reports and for preparing annual reports which form the basis for the allocation of public funds by Parliament to political entities.
