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

51. (…) The GET was pleased to learn that work on establishing a code of ethics/conduct of members of parliament was on-going. (…) The GET was told that the expected outcome of this work is to establish new legislation to be supplemented by a code of ethics/conduct for members of parliament, with a particular focus on conflicts of interest. The GET understood that this project was still at an initial stage; draft texts did not exist at the time of the visit.  52. (...) GRECO recommends that a code of ethics/conduct for members of parliament - including their staff as appropriate – be adopted, covering various situations of conflicts of interest (e.g. gifts and other advantages, third party contacts, lobbyists, accessory activities, post- employment situations).Source: Paragraph 51, FOURTH EVALUATION ROUND, Corruption prevention in respect of members of parliament, judges and prosecutors, GrecoEval4Rep, adopted at its 72nd Plenary Meeting, 2016
