Lastly, as regards the prohibition of donations from legal persons, the Venice Commission has acknowledged that “the banning of corporate donations exists in a number of models”; when such a model is “combined with significant state financing of political parties, [it] aims to decrease the pressure exerted by big business on the political process.  It is a legitimate choice for a country to make. However, it should be borne in mind that corporate bans may be circumvented in a number of ways, through channelling of corporate money through individual donations” or by loans that are granted at advantageous conditions or written off by the creditor. Ideally, therefore, Article 33 (third indent) of the draft law should be worded more precisely to avoid any such possible manipulations.
