Article 8
Ties or Conflicts of Interest
Before being elected or appointed, officials shall automatically disclose any personal interests that could be linked with their prospective function. While fulfilling their task, officials shall avoid any situation that could lead to conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest arise if officials have, or appear to have, private or personal interests that detract from their ability to carry out their obligations as officials with integrity in an independent and purposeful manner. Private or personal interests include gaining any possible advantage for himself, his family, relatives, friends and acquaintances. Article
