Paragraph 93
 

The amended paragraph 2 of Article 72 introduces certain incompatibilities between the parliamentary mandate and posts such as those “in the civil and municipal service”, “entrepreneurial activity” or “member[ship] of the governing body or supervisory council of a commercial organizations”. Deputies may, however, continue to exercise “scientific, teaching or other creative activities” – as is already the case. Generally, the primary purpose of incompatibility provisions is to ensure the separation of powers, enhance transparency and guarantee that parliamentarians’ public or private occupations do not influence their role as representatives of the nation to avoid or limit conflicts of interest.
