E. Rules on the financing of political parties
1. Donations
As noted in the Committee of Ministers’ Recommendation (2003)4, states should: “[…] take measures aimed at limiting, prohibiting or otherwise strictly regulating donations from legal entities which provide goods or services for any public administration”[1]. No such provision appears to be contained in the draft Act. It is recommended to explicitly ban, and effectively sanction, donations from legal entities which provide goods or services for the public administration.
