... anyone out there ? ...

as usual no context
is it about 'Förderung nach oben' ? Begrenzung /limitation - I for one think of upper limits
so what is the "nach oben"?

ceiling

This does not mean that all funding under the €200,000 ceiling should be counted as de minimis.

or 'by an upper limit' as you proposed initially.

fundings truncated by a bound
What? Where did you get that from?

I think ceiling is a good solution....
I was only pointing out the odd construction, which might have been talking about say mining diamonds or fracking...

limit or ceiling - thank you all
