I should like to emphasise that, both during my term of office and thereafter, I intend to comply absolutely with Article 286 of the Treaty on [the Functioning of the] European Union, which, inter alia, requires Members of the Court of Auditors to behave with integrity and discretion if they are offered certain appointments or benefits after they have ceased to hold office.
Je souhaite insister sur le fait que je respecterai sans aucune restriction, durant mon mandat et ensuite, les dispositions de l'article 286 du traité FUE, notamment les devoirs d'honnêteté et de délicatesse quant à l'acceptation, après cette cessation, de certaines fonctions ou de certains avantages.
