10. No member of the Régie may, on pain of forfeiture of office, have any direct or indirect interest in any activity related to the production or marketing of an agricultural, food or fish product putting his personal interest in conflict with the interest of the Régie, or represent any group or sector contemplated by this Act.
However, forfeiture is not incurred if a member acquires such an interest by succession or gift, provided he renounces or disposes of it with diligence.
