Paragraph 30
 

Finally, the catch-all formulation provided for by the fourth sub-item of Article 16(2)(f) (applying the restrictions to individuals who “have committed acts that, without falling expressly under the actions provided for in points 1)–3), have been mentioned as arguments considered in the decision of the Constitutional Court on the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the political party”) is rather vague and may cover a large variety of situations implying a possibility of arbitrary application of the restrictions. It does not define the evidence needed in order to prove that the persons in question have committed the action and does not allow their clear individualisation and of the alleged offences committed.
