67. Are there provisions for conflict of interests for candidates and/or elected officials?

There are no rules compelling MPs to declare potential conflicts of interest and/or barring them from holding financial interests or engaging in external activities. Members of the States General are not subject to any restrictions on accepting gifts. Members of the House of Representatives have to register gifts above EUR 50, as well as foreign travel at the invitation of third parties. However, the register of gifts does not cover other benefits, such as hospitality or invitations to different kinds of events. There is no reporting obligation for members of the Senate, who are not obliged to report the income they earn from their other activities, nor gifts received, sponsored foreign trips or other benefits.
