Accordingly the party, which runs in elections with more than 35 mandates, should collect more than two percents of the\u00a0 given votes in order to enter the Parliament. For small parties such as the Pirate Party or Animal Protection Party, the entry to the Parliament\u00a0 would be extremely difficult. In the moment it is unclear, if the new regulation is\u00a0 valid already for\u00a0 the next European elections in May next year, since it should be adopted\u00a0 latest to the\u00a0 mid of this year. The new voting regulation is also forbidding several\u00a0 time voting in different\u00a0 EU\u00a0 member countries, what will be in future subject to penalty. The member countries will have the instruction ( which will however not be obligatory ) to enable their citizens the European\u00a0 voting possibility also in EU- abroad.<\/p>\n<p>In order to implement the new regulation, the European Parliament must\u00a0 in the next step receive\u00a0\u00a0 the approval of all\u00a0 member countries , otherwise it is not possible to make any changes from the side of the members of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ep2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ep2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ep2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ep2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ep2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time since 1976 the European Union is discussing\u00a0 the European voting right and plans to implement the regulation of its member countries with the limit clause of two percents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3716,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aacc.co.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
