lpv:translated text	"I abstained from the vote on this report for two reasons. The main reason is that the regulation on the statute and financing of European political parties authorises gifts from legal persons to European political parties. I cannot accept such a proposal because it would make it impossible for the parties to be independent of business circles. The influence of the business lobbies on parties and political orientations is already considerable, and direct financing, even with a ceiling attached to it, would increase even further their influence on political parties. Besides, there is no guarantee that the financing of the national political parties by the European political parties will be kept separate, because of the authorisation of cross-border measures. Finally, it is no longer a question of European political parties, but rather of political parties at European level. I decided to abstain, rather than vote against this report, because I believe that the adoption of such a statute is a strong and positive signal of a move towards a closer Union and towards a destiny that is truly shared. The European political parties, funded by public subsidies and by contributions from activists, are one of the means offered to our citizens of bringing about this increasingly close Union of our peoples."@en1
