| 10. | These guidelines complement the Commission’s policies in the field of democracy and free, fair and resilient elections, including the 2020 European democracy action plan (11), the elections and integrity package presented by the Commission in 2021 (12) and recently the 2023 Defence of Democracy package (13), and the work of the European Cooperation Network on elections (14) to foster cooperation among national electoral networks of competent authorities. The Defence of Democracy package includes, among others, extensive recommendations to Member States, and national and European political parties, political foundations, and campaign organisations on inclusive and resilient electoral processes in the EU and enhancing the European nature and efficient conduct of the elections to the European Parliament (15). As indicated in these recommendations, the Commission will report on the conduct of the European Parliamentary elections. The Commission’s Communication on Defence of Democracy also provides an assessment of risks to electoral processes and the civic discourse from the perspective among others of the implementation of the European Democracy Action Plan and should be taken into account (16).
