Article 50 of the draft Code offers several valuable high-level guiding principles for the financing of campaign activities, including legality and proportionality of legal measures taken to ensure legality, equal opportunities (including in terms of gender and access), transparency of income and expenditures, independence from donors, and integrity of the election campaign. However, to ensure a free campaign, some of these principles could be further elaborated, especially in terms of the intended meaning of independence from donors and the integrity of the election campaign.
