PAGE 10, POINT 35. ?...A ceiling also applies to support from a given donor, which may not exceed in one year 200 minimum gross salaries (MGS) [EUR 28,000] in case of a natural person, and 500 MGS in case of a legal person [EUR 70,000]. These limits are increased for the years where multiple elections are held: 400 MGS for natural persons and per election, and 1000 MGS for legal persons and per election. Donations made by several entities which are under the direct or indirect control of the same legal person must altogether comply with these limits.'

Comment
Technically the limit is for donations per election year.
