In order to increase the transparency of European political party funding, and to avoid potential abuse of the funding rules, a member of the European Parliament should, for the purposes of funding only, be regarded as a member of only one European political party. That European political party should, where relevant, be the one to which their his or her national or regional political party is affiliated on the final date for the submission of applications for funding.
