"Question No 10 by Esko Olavi Seppänen ():
Replying to my oral questionin Parliament on 12 April 2000, the Commission took the view that:
‘The present Article 191 of the Treaty establishing the EC does not constitute a legal basis for funding European political parties. The article refers to the importance of political parties at European level. It does not, however, empower any of the institutions to enter into expenditure commitments to support European political parties, nor does it provide for a procedure for approving any measure to facilitate the giving of such an expenditure commitment.
The Commission therefore considers that in the interests of legal certainty it would be best to incorporate an appropriate legal basis for such expenditure in the Treaty establishing the EC.
This matter should be considered at the Intergovernmental Conference.’
Does the Council take the same view with regard to the legal basis for this? Will the matter be placed on the agenda for the IGC?"@en1
