Paragraph 141
 

Furthermore, the legislation in a number of countries provides for a ban or limitations on corporate donations to political parties (and to candidates). Parties and candidates may not be allowed to receive donations from legal persons (e.g. Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia) or corporate interests (e.g. France). Moreover, in the majority of the CoE member states there are bans or limitations on donations on (semi-)public corporations to political parties (and candidates).
