Clinton Centre breaches EU funding criteria?

As a result of Pete’s blog on the Clinton Centre, it seems Slugger may have accidentally discovered an EU project that has previously breached its funding criteria:

We have taken advice in relation to the funding conditions and as a result are not in a position to host activity by any political party

[added emphasis]

The centre has hosted at least two events for the SDLP.

So were they wrong in their rejection of the SF event or admitting they’ve previously broken the rules?
