The General Meeting of the Association adopts the rules of professional conduct to which the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the salaried staff of the Association, as well as the members of the supervisory committees of the plans subscribed by the Association, shall be bound. These rules are given to each member on joining the association.
The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to prevent and resolve conflicts of interest. They specify the information that persons who could be considered to be in a conflict of interest situation in their function, due in particular to their links of any kind, direct or indirect, with the insurance company or its service providers, must, under their responsibility, bring to the attention of the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. They determine the cases in which and the conditions under which these persons must abstain from taking part in deliberations, abstain from voting or tender their resignation.
These rules specify the obligations of diligence and confidentiality of the persons mentioned in the first paragraph in the performance of their duties.
These rules also define the conditions under which the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the salaried staff of the association, on the one hand, and the members of the supervisory committees of the plans subscribed by the association, on the other hand, communicate to the president of the association or to the president of their respective committees information on their civil status, good repute, experience and professional qualifications.
The rules of professional conduct also specify, where necessary, the criteria for assessing whether a member of the Board of Directors or a Supervisory Committee meets the conditions set out in the first paragraph of article L. 141-7.
