I. The Prime Minister shall, no later than 30 June 2010, appoint a committee of representatives of all of the political parties in the Althingi to review this Act and its implementation.
II. The National Audit Office shall, at the request of political organisations, accept and publish information on all direct donations to such organisations as well as other donations valued at ISK 200,000 or more during the years 2002 to 2006, both years included, equally to the national parties as well as all units thereunder or which are connected to the operation and assets of the parties, such as special associations, constituency councils, holding companies and related self-owned organisations. An individual party unit, however, may be excluded if its income does not exceed ISK 300,000 annually.
The National Audit Office shall, at the request of candidates in pre-selections or primaries within political parties for parliamentary or municipal elections 2006 and 2007, accept and publish information on all direct donations to them as well as other donations valued at ISK 200,000 from 1 January 2005 to 31 May 2007. Moreover, the National Audit Office shall, in the same manner at the request of candidates in elections to the two most senior positions within political organisations, i.e. Chairman and Vice-Chairman, accept and publish information on all direct donations to them as well as other donations valued at ISK 200,000 or more during the years 2005 to 2009, both years included. If the total amount of donations to a candidate is less than ISK 300,000, the candidate may submit a simple statement to the National Audit Office to such effect without further explanation or itemisation, as provided for in the fourth paragraph.
On interpreting the terms political organisations, primary elections, donations and related parties, account must be taken of the definitions of these terms as provided in Article 2 of this Act.
For this purpose, the National Audit Office shall accept information from the political organisations and candidates on their donations during the specified period, as described in the first and second paragraphs. The information provided must be itemised according to source so that a distinction is made between State contributions, municipal contributions, donations from legal entities, membership fees and donations from private persons. Attached to the information must be a statement from the political organisation or candidate in question that the information is provided to the best of their knowledge. The National Audit Office may request further information and explanations if it considers there are any shortcomings in the information. Dissemination of information to the National Audit Office from political organisations and their candidates who request the processing and publication of information must be completed before 15 November 2009. The National Audit Office, however, may extend this deadline for up to one month.
The National Audit Office shall co-ordinate the information provided to the Office according to the fourth paragraph and publish in a co-ordinated manner, before the end of 2009, the results for each political organisation and their candidates as follows:
a. The total amount of annual contributions according to available information.
b. The total amount of annual donations from individuals according to available information.
c. The total amount of annual donations from legal entities according to available information.
d. Parties donating ISK 500,000 or more must be specifically identified. In the event that a legal entity has requested that its donation to the political organisation in question remain confidential, the amount of the donation must nevertheless be published while information on the entity in question shall not be published. In the event of a private person, the publication of his/her name as donor must always be based on his/her approval.
The National Audit Office can establish rules on the manner in which contributions that are not direct financial donations are to be valued.
In respects other than specified in the fifth paragraph, the National Audit Office must keep confidential all information that political organisations and their candidates provide to the Office pursuant to this provision.
The provisions of Article 12 of this Act do not apply to the submission of information pursuant to this provision.
