# Decision (EU, Euratom) 2016/1432 of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 19 August 2016 appointing the Director of the Authority for European political parties and European political foundations, Division: DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND ABSENCE OF CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

I, the undersigned, …, declare that I have taken note of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1141/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations and will exercise my functions as Director of the Authority fully independently and in full compliance with the rules of that Regulation. When acting on behalf of the Authority, I will neither seek nor take instructions from any institution or government, or from any other body, office or agency. I will refrain from any act which is incompatible with the nature of my duties.
I declare, to the best of my knowledge, that I am not in a situation of conflict of interests. A conflict of interests exists where the impartial and objective exercise of the functions of Director of the Authority is compromised for reasons involving family, personal life, political, national, philosophical or religious affinity, economic interest or any other shared interest with a recipient. In particular, I declare that I am not a member of the European Parliament, I do not hold any electoral mandate and I am not, and never have been, an employee of a European political party or of a European political foundation.
Done at Brussels,
[DATE + SIGNATURE
of the Director designate]
