According to the “Guidelines and Report on the Financing of Political Parties” (CDL-INF (2001)8), donations from foreign states or enterprises (but not from nationals living abroad) must be prohibited. Correspondingly, the CoE’s Committee of Ministers in its Recommendation to member states on common rules against corruption in the funding of political parties and electoral campaigns (Rec(2003)4) provides that states should limit, prohibit or otherwise regulate donations from foreign donors.
