Conflict-of-interest abstention requires interested members to disclose their interests and avoid Authority deliberations and decisions on affected matters.

Conflict-of-interest abstention requires every Authority member who is directly or indirectly concerned or interested in a matter before a meeting to disclose the nature of that interest promptly. The disclosure must be recorded in the Authority's proceedings, and the interested member must not participate in deliberations or decisions on that matter. Indirect interest includes interests held through relatives or by being a partner or director of the relevant concern.
