"It is important to develop the European political parties. An age-old concern of the European Parliament has been the fact that the public has shown little interest in EU affairs. This has been evident in the poor turnout in parliamentary elections. In the last European elections, a mere 40.3% of Finns who were entitled to vote actually went and voted.
There has been a substantial increase in the funding for European political parties and foundations in recent years. This current year, the parties will be receiving financial support worth a total of EUR 17.4 million, and the foundations will get EUR 11.4 million. Now we need to take special care that this money, which comes from European taxpayers, is spent openly and as sensibly as possible. Neither in the future should there any longer be any increase in financial support."@en1
