"At Wednesday’s sitting, the European Parliament adopted the Giannakou report on the status and rules regarding the funding of political parties at European level. In my opinion, European political party development is a crucial tool, thanks to which we can raise the interest of public opinion in European Union affairs, which, in my opinion, will result in greater turnouts at European Parliament elections. In addition, political parties are a platform for dialogue with the citizens, which takes place through numerous seminars and political discussions. By introducing the possibility of funding European political parties, the Maastricht Treaty and the Treaty of Nice enabled them to operate independently of parliamentary groups. However, despite this undeniable step towards improving the status of European parties, their main sources of funding are still individual membership subscriptions and, to a small extent, donations. I would like to express the hope that the document which has been adopted will lead to a significant improvement in the position of political parties at European level."@en1
