Legality of Pan EU Party funding in UK/EU elections.
Paul Perrin made this Freedom of Information request to Electoral Commission
Currently waiting for a response from Electoral Commission, they must respond promptly and normally no later than 26 July 2011 (details).

Dear Electoral Commission,
I understand that 'Pan EU Parties' (PEP) are allowed to run in and
to campaign in elections to the European Union (EU) parliament.
I also understand that people who would be barred by law from
donating to a UK party, are perfectly free to make donations to
these PEPs.
I would like to know if you have undertaken any work looking at
this situation which appears to by-pass laws specifically brought
in by the UK parliament at Westminster to keep elections in the UK
uncontaminated by money from dubious sources.
So can you tell me if any work has been done, if any work is in
progress, or if any work is planned to look at this? If so can you
provide me with details of what they work was/is or will be and any
terms of reference and any available results?
Yours faithfully,
Paul Perrin
