'''TOP 4 Purpose of the Work Group'''

Most important rule: No general discussions! Those belong onto the general PPEU- and PPI-ML!


Following the Prague Declaration from the PPI Conference on 14/15th of April 2012 we want to write different modules on controversial parts of the Statutes of Pirate Party at an European level that we'd like to found. But we also need to lay down general provisions which will complement the controversial provisions which will be chosen by majority vote of all the participating Pirates/Pirate Parties. We want to offer the voters something concrete to vote upon and therefore everyone should prepare themselves for the possibility that their version might not be chosen and their work have been for nil. But without our work there will never be more than talk about a PPEU, so everyone nonetheless contributes to the success of this party (if we can agree at least upon founding one).


To become a political party at the European level the following conditions must be met:


it must have legal personality in the Member State in which its seat is located.
it must observe the founding principles of the European Union, namely the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law.
it must have participated, or intend to participate, in elections to the European Parliament.
it must have in at least one quarter of the Member States, one or both of the following:
either it must have received at least 3% of the votes cast in each of those Member States at the most recent European Parliament elections.
or it must already be represented by Members,  whether Members of the European Parliament for those states, or Members  of the national Parliaments of those states, or Members of the regional  Parliaments of those states, or Members of the regional Assemblies of  those states.
it must publish its revenue and expenditure annually.
it must publish a statement of its assets and liabilities annually.
it must provide a list of its donors and their donations exceeding €500.
it must not accept anonymous donations.
it must not accept donations exceeding €12,000 per year and per donor.
it must not accept donations from the budgets of political groups of the European Parliament.
it must not accept more than 40% of a national political party's annual budget.
it must not accept donations from any company over which the public authorities may exercise a dominant influence, either by virtue of their ownership of it, or by their financial participation therein.
it must get at least 15% of its budget from sources other than its European Union funding.
it must submit its application by the 30 September before the financial year that it wants funding for.


Even if we don't fulfil these criteria yet, we should aim to create a PPEU that may become a Political Party at the European level later. To discuss the provisions we created, we will meet in RL in Luxemberg in autumn to discuss the finished provisions (Date? Time? Place?) → Deadline!!!
