| Proposal for rejection | |
| The European Parliament rejects the Commission proposal. |
The EU Commission does not know the extent of the “problem” it is trying to address. In its Impact Assessment, the Commission states that “the scale of interest representation activities carried out on behalf of third countries in the member states is largely unknown.” Secondly, there is no evidence in the Impact Assessment demonstrating that transparency measures have been effective in holding foreign actors to account for their activities and protecting democratic integrity. The proposed Directive only aims at legal interest representation activities. Illegal activities, however, seem to be at the core of the issue, but will not be tackled by this Directive. It is largely unclear how the Directive would ensure that bad actors are identified by Member State authorities. Thirdly, the Directive overlooks the fact that covert foreign interference may come from diverse sources, both within and outside the EU (letterbox organisations) thereby creating loopholes. Fourth, the definitions are unclear and would lead to legal uncertainty. Finally, the proposal stigmatises civil society organisations in Europe, it would shrink the space of CSOs and allow for an abuse of the proposal to further crack down on CSOs in certain Member States.
