Paragraph 17
 

In terms of content, the draft law is based on Legislative Decree no. 2011-87, while amending some of its provisions and adding more comprehensive rules, among other things regarding transparency, financial supervision and penalties. It comprises 67 articles, whereas there were only 35 in the legislative decree. Although this analysis will not be confined to the new or amended provisions alone, it is possible that it may not cover all the aspects of the draft law; the Venice Commission wishes to underline that this will not prevent it from making further written or oral recommendations or comments on the matter in future.  In addition, it should be noted that the draft law, like Legislative Decree no. 2011-87, only concerns the regular funding of political parties, not campaign funding. The latter is covered by Articles 75 et seq. of the Electoral Law and will not be examined in this opinion.
