> maximum of one year or more

If the max is one year, it can't be more?

[rkomorn]

It sounds like it's "the maximum penalty must be at least 1 year", as in "your member state can't enact a law where the maximum penalty is less than 1 year".

At least that's how I read it, but it's confusing.

This is correct. But the larger point is that even 1 minute of jail time for such "crimes" is unacceptable.

[amelius]

How would you have read it if it said "with a maximum of one year"?

[philwelch]

So it’s a minimum maximum.

[Aurornis]

The maximum value in each instance must be at least one year.
