29.1. As soon as the agrologist notices that a partner, a shareholder, a director, a director or an employee of a partnership or joint-stock company within which the agrologist carries on professional activities or within which the agrologist has interests is in a conflict of interest, the agrologist must take necessary measures to avoid the disclosure of information and documents protected by professional secrecy to that person.

The following factors must be taken into account in assessing the effectiveness of such measures:

(1)  the size of the partnership or joint-stock company;

(2)  the precautions taken to prevent access to the agrologist’s file by the person in the conflict of interest;

(3)  the instructions given to protect confidential information or documents relating to the conflict of interest;

(4)  the isolation of the person in the conflict of interest with respect to the agrologist.
