4.4 Breaches of conflicts of interest rules, corrective measures, in-cluding disciplinary measures

Competent authorities should ensure that potential cases of non-compliance with conflicts of interest rules are addressed promptly, including, where relevant, any impact on supervisory decision-making.

Measures taken by competent authorities should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Measures should take into account the gravity of the breach, whether it was negligent or intentional and its duration, and include where appropriate disciplinary measures.
