172.010.1GAOOFederal Council OrdinanceJan 1, 1999Original source
The Federal Council may set a waiting period in the election resolution for members of administrative and institutional councils of federal institutions entrusted with supervisory and regulatory duties if it is to be expected that the immediate appointment of a member after leaving the administrative and institutional council to a position with employers or clients in the supervised or regulated area will lead to a conflict of interest.
A conflict of interest exists in particular if:
the credibility and reputation of the institution concerned or of the Confederation may be adversely affected by this appointment;
a council member has influence over individual decisions or access to information in such a way that he or she would no longer appear to be impartial if he or she worked for an employer or client in the regulated or supervised sector.
