Article 21. Measures applied to situations involving a conflict of interests

To regulate conflicts of interests, taking into account their specific features, one of the following measures shall be taken:

transferring an employee of a state body or other organization who is directly subordinate to a manager in respect of whom a conflict of interests has arisen to the subordination of another manager where no conflict of interests arises;

voluntary recusal or mandatory removal of an employee of a state body or other organization from membership of a collegial body where a conflict of interests may arise;

revising the scope of the employeeʼs official duties or service powers;

imposing restrictions on the employeeʼs use of information and documents of the state body or other organization that may lead to a conflict of interests;

ensuring collegial control over the exercise by the employee of powers to make unilateral decisions in accordance with legislation;

submitting proposals to the employee of the state body or other organization to eliminate his/her personal interest in accordance with legislation;

the employee waiving personal interests that conflict with the interests of the state body or other organization where he/she performs labor (service) activities;

if it is impossible to eliminate the employeeʼs personal interest, transferring the employee, with his/her consent, to another position equivalent to the previous one, or terminating the employment (service) contract on general grounds.

Measures to regulate a conflict of interests shall be taken with the consent of the employee of the state body or other organization.

When taking measures to regulate a conflict of interests, no preference or advantage may be given to any person, group, or organization, nor may employees of state bodies or other organizations, or citizens, be discriminated against.

State bodies or other organizations may, by mutual agreement with their employee, take other measures not prohibited by law to regulate a conflict of interests.
