A fundamental principle of administrative law is the principle of impartiality of individual & collective administrative bodies as a specific manifestation of the rule of law and an application of the principle of equality among citizens (Article 7 of Law 2690/1999 “Code of Administrative Procedure” (A’45) and extensive case law).
Conflict of interest under Union law exists when the impartial and objective exercise of the functions of a financial actor or other person, including national authorities at any level involved in financial implementation under direct, indirect, or shared management, is compromised by family or emotional reasons, political or national affinity, economic interest, or any other direct or indirect personal interest, and ultimately may affect the Union’s interests (Article 61 of the Financial Regulation 2024/2059 EU/L/ 26.9.2024)
