35. In no case may the chief scientist or scientific directors, under pain of forfeiture of office, have any direct or indirect interest in an undertaking, body or association causing their personal interest to conflict with that of the fund. However, such forfeiture is not incurred if such an interest devolves to them by succession or gift, provided that they renounce or dispose of it with all possible dispatch.

Any other member of the board of directors who has any interest in such an undertaking, body or association must, under pain of forfeiture of office, disclose it in writing to the chief scientist and abstain from participating in any deliberation and any decision concerning that undertaking, body or association. Such a board member must also withdraw from a meeting for the duration of the deliberations and the vote on the issue.

This section does not prevent a board member from expressing an opinion on general measures relating to conditions of employment within the fund which would also apply to the board member.
