The proposal shall provide option to obtain membership including voting rights even to parties officially not bearing term “Pirate” in their name.

 the Council may consider Association robust enough to act as represantive of the Pirate movement in Europe, even though futher members are admitted. Unless further members are admitted, the registration process shall be postponed until further major electoral successes are reached.
+=== Motion regarding Whistleblowers ===
+We, members of the European Pirate Party, call upon pirate members of national parliaments, members of national delegations in the Council of Europe and members of the Pirate delegation in the European Parliament to further persist in favor of immediate response of all EU Member States, to comply with Directive (EU) 2019/1937, to build a secure and confidential environment within the European Union, for the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (whistleblowers).
+=== Nomination of Julian Assange for the Nobel Peace prize ===
+Whistleblowers serve as an important source of information in today’s world, and they should not be prosecuted for publishing information that is vital to the public, as was the case with whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. No one should be punished for reporting wrongdoing by states or other organisations.
+Julian Assange sacrificed his personal well-being and freedom for the benefit of society, and that, in our opinion, qualifies him to be nominated for the Nobel Peace prize. The process of nomination itself is relatively simple.
+With this motion, we ask the Council for support in nominating Assange for the prize.
