Article 3 Conflicts of interest 1. A conflict of interest exists where a Member has a personal interest that could improperly influence the performance of his or her duties as a Member of the European Parliament. A conflict of interest does not exist where a Member benefits only as a member of the general public or of a broad class of persons. 2. Any Member who finds that he or she has a conflict of interest shall immediately take the necessary steps to address it, in accordance with the principles and provisions of this Code of Conduct. If the Member is unable to resolve the conflict of interest, he or she shall report this to the President in writing. In cases of ambiguity, the Member may seek advice from the Advisory Committee on the Conduct of Members, established under Article 7. 3. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, Members shall disclose, before speaking or voting in Plenary or in one of Parliament's bodies, or if proposed as a rapporteur, any actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to the matter under consideration, where such conflict is not evident from the information declared pursuant to Article 4. Such disclosure shall be made in writing or orally to the chair during the parliamentary proceedings in question.
