12. Neither the chair nor any member of the personnel of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales may, on pain of forfeiture of office, have a direct or indirect interest in an enterprise causing their personal interest to conflict with that of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales. However, forfeiture of office is not incurred where the interest devolves to them by succession or gift, provided they renounce or dispose of it with dispatch.
Any other member of the board who has a direct or indirect interest in an enterprise causing the member’s personal interest to conflict with that of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales must, on pain of forfeiture of office, disclose the interest in writing to the chair, abstain from voting on any matter relating to the enterprise, and avoid influencing any decision relating to the enterprise. The member must also withdraw from a meeting during any discussion or vote on such a matter.
