The Ethics and Conflicts of Interest Committee has between five and eight members. These members are appointed for a period of five years by order of the ministers responsible on the recommendation of the Board of Directors from among persons recognised for their knowledge and skills in the field of ethics. In the event of a vacancy, they are replaced under the same conditions for the remainder of the term of office of the person they are replacing.
The duties of a member of the Committee are incompatible with membership of any other body of the Agency and with any contractual relationship with it, and are subject to all the ethical obligations applicable to the Agency.
