On 5 January, the European Commission registered a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), entitled ‘Ethics, Transparency and Integrity for European Political Parties'.

The initiative invites the Commission to ‘devise a European model of ethical governance based on transparency, integrity and shared responsibility'. To this end, the organizers call for the Commission to ‘propose a legislative act amending and tightening up' the EU Regulation ‘on European political parties and European political foundations and introducing stricter requirements' in relation to conflicts of interest, transparency, decision-making, unethical conduct and funding.

As this initiative fulfils the formal conditions established in the relevant legislation, the Commission considers it legally admissible under the European Citizens' Initiative Regulation. The Commission has not analysed the substance of the proposals at this stage. The registration does not influence the Commission's final decision on its merits, or any potential action it may take. The Commission will take a decision on the initiative only if it collects at least one million signatures from EU citizens.

More information is available in a press release online.
