The draft law strengthens the obligations to publish financial information. While Article 26 of Legislative Decree no. 2011-87 already requires political parties to publish their financial statements together with the auditor’s report in a daily newspaper and on the party’s website “if one exists” within one month of their approval, Article 47 of the draft law goes further by requiring all parties to publish these documents on the online platform within a specified deadline, i.e. by 30 June the following year at the latest. The Venice Commission considers that these amendments constitute a step forward, provided that the parties fulfil their obligations in practice; it would appear that so far only a small minority of the parties have presented and published their financial reports. The Code of Good Practice in the field of Political Parties states in this regard that “publishing financial reports improves transparency and public confidence in political parties”. Nonetheless, it would be preferable to further specify in the law that financial reports and information should remain accessible on the platform for an extended and clearly defined period of time, in line with the Venice Commission’s previous recommendations.
