Special statements:

1. Lex de Jonge: Chair,

In respect of conflict of interest, I would like to reflect on the oath, in which I undertook to disclose “any interest in any matter under discussion before the Executive Board which may constitute a conflict of interest or which might be incompatible with the requirements of integrity and impartiality expected of a member of the Executive Board”.
In line with paragraph 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Code of Conduct, I have therefore refrained, and will continue to refrain from

- discussing projects in which either the Dutch DNA or any of my past and present professional affiliations are involved;
- presenting or discussing evidence before the Board of a project-specific nature, which is not apparent from the documents presented before the Board,

I would like to request the secretariat, through you, Chair, to annex this statement to the report of this meeting, along with my signed declaration of conflict of interest with cases under review.



Lex de Jonge

2. Martin Hession: I have no direct or indirect financial interest in any of the subject matter under discussion at the Board but have identified a potential or perceived conflict of interest in respect of issues involving projects where participation has been approved by the UK, by reason of my residence in the UK and my employment by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change. I have avoided active participation in any case specific discussion in respect of these projects. I have sought in all matters to discharge my responsibilities as a board member impartially throughout.

3. Peer Stiansen: I deem, in my personal case, that a conflict of interest will be deemed to exist by virtue of:

a) financial or property interests;
b) business affiliations;
c) nationality or citizenship;
d) government affiliation;
e) professional affiliations and interests; and
f) employment, family or other indirect or apparent interests

I have therefore refrained, and will continue to refrain, from discussing projects which have obtained a letter of approval from the Norwegian DNA, or where I am aware that the Norwegian government has entered, or plans to enter, into a purchase agreement. I also limit my participation to general points on cases, issues and projects where I am aware that a Norwegian entity has a substantial economic interest.
