The complainant was concerned the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations (APPF) does not make publicly available important information about European political parties and foundations, such as concerning their registration and financial situation. According to the rules governing its work, the APPF should publish such information in a clear and timely manner, however it appears that some improvements could be made in this regard. 

The Ombudsman opened an inquiry and asked the APPF to clarify certain questions related to the publication of this information.
