European political parties and their affiliated European political foundations wishing to obtain recognition as such at Union level, by virtue of being given European legal status, and to receive public funding from the general budget of the Union should respect certain principles and fulfil certain conditions. In particular, it is necessary for European political parties, their affiliated European political foundations and their respective members to observe the values on which the Union is founded, set out in Article 2 TEU. European political parties and their affiliated European political foundations should also ensure that their member parties and member organisations observe those values.
