Paragraph 69
 

The Draft Institutional Law on the Organisation of Political Parties and their Funding is intended to replace Legislative Decree no. 2011-87, currently in force. The draft is based on this legislative decree, while amending some of its provisions and adding more comprehensive rules, such as those relating to transparency, financial monitoring and sanctions. The Venice Commission considers that the draft law is generally clearly drafted, is in line with the constitutional mandate and, if adopted, would be an important step forward in ensuring the transparency of political parties in general and their funding in particular. To this end, the draft law establishes an online platform for the management of political parties’ files; it also provides for the introduction of annual public funding for political parties (in addition to the public funding of electoral campaigns, already established by the 2014 Electoral Law as amended in 2017).
