Paragraph 12 a (new)
12 a. Underlines the fact that the current ethical framework applying to Union institutions and agencies suffers from considerable drawbacks due to its fragmentation and lack of coordination between existing provisions; highlights that these issues should be addressed by setting up a common ethical framework, ensuring the application of high ethical standards for all Union institutions and agencies; considers that public officials are not in a position to conduct self- assessments regarding ethical situations or in instances of conflicts of interest; believes that this should fall under the competences of an independent specialised third party; calls under these circumstances, for the creation of an Union independent ethics body, responsible for the implementation of the common ethical framework for all Union institutions and agencies;
