"I welcome the adoption of the Code of Conduct for MEPs as there was a great need for such a code. The Code of Conduct defines conflicts of interest and envisages the option to sanction MEPs, including by suspension or removal from office. The code clearly indicates that MEPs cannot accept money or benefits in exchange for votes or legislative or political activities within the European Parliament. In addition, according to the new code, MEPs must submit a declaration of financial interests which specifies some of the following details: - professional activities from the last three years prior to taking up office in Parliament; - any regular remunerated activity carried out as an MEP, alongside the exercise of their office; - any occasional remunerated outside activity (including writing, lecturing or the provision of expert advice) if the total remuneration exceeds EUR 5 000 in a calendar year; - any gift or benefit valued at more than EUR 150, received by an MEP when carrying out his or her duties, must be refused or, if officially representing Parliament, be transferred to the European Parliament."@en1
