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 therefore 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 which I handed in to the secretariat.



Lex de Jonge

2. 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.
