It includes a series of actions addressed to national and European political parties and foundations. Today, the Commission calls on national parties to ensure\u00a0<strong>transparency of the sources and amount of campaign funding for online activities<\/strong>\u00a0during the upcoming European Parliament election campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission also reminds political parties and campaign organisations to implement appropriate measures to be able to tackle\u00a0<strong>cyberattacks<\/strong>\u00a0and recalls their obligations concerning the protection of personal data. Political parties that do not respect\u00a0<strong>data protection rules<\/strong>\u00a0to deliberately influence or attempt to influence the outcome of European elections will be subject to\u00a0<strong>new sanctions<\/strong>, introduced by the amended\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/sites\/beta-political\/files\/soteu2018-protection-data-elections-regulation-636_en.pdf\">Regulation on the European political parties and foundations at the European level<\/a>, which is expected to enter into force in April. Sanctions could amount to 5% of the annual budget of the European political party or foundation concerned. In addition, those found to be in breach would not be able to apply for funding from the general budget of the European Union in the year in which the sanction is imposed.These sanctions target infringements of rules on the protection of personal data being used by the European political parties or foundations to deliberately influence or attempt to influence the outcome of European elections. The European Commission calls on Member States to introduce similar sanctions at national level.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Next steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Following the European Parliament elections in May, the Commission will prepare a report, including on the implementation of the Elections&#8217; Recommendation, based amongst others on input from the political parties.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In September 2018, President\u00a0<strong>Juncker<\/strong>\u00a0presented the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/europa.eu\/rapid\/press-release_IP-18-5681_en.htm\">Elections package<\/a>\u00a0to better protect our democratic processes from manipulation by third countries or private interests. This came as a response to challenges posed by online campaigning and to threats observed in recent elections and referenda directed at discrediting and delegitimising elections in Europe. It includes a set of measures which aim to increase transparency in online campaign activities, assist stakeholders in the application of data protection rules in the electoral context, improve coordination between responsible national authorities and among Member States at the European level, and introduce the possibility to impose sanctions for the illegal use of personal data in order to deliberately influence the outcome of the European elections.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/en\/press-room\/20181018IPR16525\/facebook-cambridge-analytica-meps-demand-action-to-protect-citizens-privacy\">European Parliament welcomed the package in its Resolution<\/a>\u00a0on the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica case adopted on 25 October 2018.

These national networks have met twice at a European level as the\u00a0<strong>election cooperation network<\/strong>, assisted by the Commission, to share expertise and best practices among the Member States including on threats, gaps and enforcement, most recently on 27 February.
