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 changes from a bare reference to independence to a heading specifying independence of the Board of Supervisors, and the article is now split into four numbered paragraphs instead of two unnumbered ones.
The independence duty is rephrased to apply to the members of the Board of Supervisors generally rather than singling out the Chairperson and voting members, and the reference to a government of a Member State becomes a reference to any government.
Two new paragraphs are added requiring members, the Chairperson, and non-voting representatives and observers to declare any interest that might be considered prejudicial to their independence before meetings and to abstain from related discussion and voting, and requiring the Board of Supervisors to lay down practical arrangements for this declaration rule and for conflict-of-interest prevention and management in its rules of procedure.
