"I have voted against the report, which was nonetheless adopted by 345 votes, with 102 votes against and 34 abstentions.
The reason for this is, firstly, that it would be preferable if the Commission were to set the amount of party financing, not Parliament, which would in that way grant party financing to its own ‘political European families’. There would be a significant temptation to do this.
Secondly, the requirements for forming a European political party have been set too high, with representation demanded in every fourth Member State.
Thirdly, there is a built-in risk of arbitrariness inasmuch as separate assessment criteria are applied to what are termed European parties before they are given financial support. Who is to decide how these criteria are to be applied? In practice, it is the dangerous system whereby political parties are to decide which political groups are to have the status of parties and so receive financial aid, a system unknown to the Swedish Parliament."@en1
