Since the political foundations are closely affiliated with the European political parties, it is proposed that they must submit their application for funding through the political party at European level with which they are linked, under the same legal basis as applies to the latter’s funding, in other words under Article 191 of the EC Treaty.
Les fondations politiques étant étroitement affiliées aux groupes politiques européens, il est proposé qu'elles soient tenues de soumettre leur demande de financement via le parti politique au niveau européen auquel elles sont affiliées, conformément aux dispositions juridiques applicables au financement de ces derniers, à savoir l'article 191 du traité CE.
