Moreover, it may carry out any activities which directly or indirectly contribute to the realisation of the above-mentioned non-profit objective including, to the degree allowed by the law, the exercise of commercial and profit-generating activities the benefits of which will be dedicated entirely to the realisation of the non-profit objective.
