Paragraph 35
 

E. Rules on the financing of political parties


1. Donations


Article 37 of the draft Act regulates the sponsorship of political parties. It is not clear whether the provisions on donations apply to sponsorship and whether there are thus any caps on the amounts that may be paid to political parties as part of such sponsorship. It is recommended to clarify this issue. Article 37 par 3.b should also clarify the regulation and limits established concerning third parties’ contributions to a political party.
