Article 27

F1All financial actors within the meaning of Chapter 2 of this Title and any other person involved in budget implementation, management, audit or control shall be prohibited from taking any measures which may bring their own interests into conflict with those of the agency or of the Communities. Should such a case arise, the person in question must refrain from such measures and refer the matter to his superior. The director must refer it to the management board.

There is a conflict of interests where the impartial and objective exercise of the functions of a financial actor in the implementation of the budget or an internal auditor is compromised for reasons involving family, emotional life, political or national affinity, economic interest or any other shared interest with the beneficiary.
