A European political foundation, known formally as a political foundation at European level^[1] and informally as a European foundation^{[citation needed]}, is a type of political foundation affiliated to, but independent from, a European party and operating transnationally in the European Union (EU). They are regulated and funded by EU Regulation 1141/2014 on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations, and their operations are supervised by the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations (APPF). European political foundations carry specific political activities and are networks of national political foundations.

Timeline

2003

Regulation (EC) No 2004/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003^[2] defined what a Europarty, or political party at European level, was and tightened up their regulation.

2007

That regulation was later heavily amended by Regulation (EC) No 1524/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2007.^[3] That amendment provided for the earlier-floated^[4] concept of a political foundation at European level, a legally separate affiliate to a Europarty created to help them disseminate their principles to a wider audience.

An initial one million euros^[5] was allocated for pilot proposals, and Call For Proposals DG/EAC/29/2007 went out with a deadline of 28 September 2007.^[5] Ten^[6] organizations were picked (one for each Europarty^[7]) and money was allocated with an expiry date of 31 August 2008.^[5]^[8]^[9]

Regulations

As of 1 November 2008, the regulation governing Eurofoundations is Regulation (EC) No 2004/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003,^[10] as later amended^[11] under codecision (see above). That regulation's European Commission factsheet is given here.

Funding

Their total allocated funding for 2008 is €5,000,000.^[7]
