Furthermore, each intergroup must publish an annual declaration of financial interests, covering all support received in cash or in kind (financial, staffing and material support).</p> <p>Furthermore, intergroups are forbidden from:</p> <ul> <li>using Parliament or political group names or logos;</li> <li>expressing an opinion on behalf of Parliament;</li> <li>carrying out activities which might result in confusion with the official activities of Parliament or of its bodies;</li> <li>carrying out activities which might have a negative impact on relations with EU institutions or third countries; and</li> <li>holding events in third countries that coincide with a mission of an official Parliament body, including election observation.</li> </ul> <p>The Quaestors are responsible for
