National parties can indeed stand in the elections to the European Parliament; they are funded in accordance with national legislation on the funding of political parties, and it would be wrong if national parties, parties limited to one nation, were also to form a party under the European Statute on Political Parties.
Lo statuto dei partiti politici europei contribuisce a conferire un carattere più europeo al dibattito politico e dobbiamo adoperarci affinché le politiche interne assumano una maggiore connotazione europea, anziché ricalcare le linee nazionali.
