Article 9 of the draft law provides for the establishment of an online platform for managing political party registration files. As indicated above, the principle of transparency is enshrined in the international standards concerning political parties and their funding. The Guidelines state that “political parties may obtain certain legal privileges, […], that are not available to other associations” and that, “as a result of having privileges”, political parties are subject to certain obligations in terms of transparency. From this point of view, the establishment of an online platform is to be welcomed as such, provided that the rights of parties and their members are respected. The actual idea of a tool of this kind seems to respond to the recommendation by Council of Europe experts that a department be designated to take charge of the centralised publication of the directory of political parties and all documents, reports and statistics relating to financial transparency in politics; the details will be examined below.
