The ADDE had earlier come under scrutiny for soliciting European funds to finance "non-eligible expenses" linked in particular to campaigning in Britain by Nigel Farage's party, including for surveys ahead of the 2015 general elections and the referendum in June this year in which the country voted to leave the EU.
"ADDE pārkāpa Eiropas partiju finansēšanas noteikumus, Lielbritānijā veicot deviņas sabiedriskās domas aptaujas pirms 2015, gada vispārējām vēlēšanām, kā arī pirms ES referenduma 2016.gadā, kā arī veidojot ziņojumu par šīm aptaujām," informēja EP.
