Amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/2175 32019R2175
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
The heading changed from "Independence" to "Independence of the Board of Supervisors," and the article is now numbered into four paragraphs instead of three unnumbered ones.
The first paragraph now applies to all members of the Board of Supervisors rather than singling out the Chairperson and voting members, and refers to "any government" instead of "any government of a Member State," while the reference to the tasks conferred on the European Central Bank by Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 is no longer present.
Two new paragraphs were added requiring members, the Chairperson, and non-voting representatives and observers to declare conflicts of interest before meetings and abstain from related discussion and voting, and requiring the Board of Supervisors to set out practical arrangements for that declaration rule and for managing conflicts of interest in its rules of procedure.
