European Parliament's Code of Conduct for Members

The European Parliament's Code of Conduct for Members is a set of rules designed to ensure members act ethically and responsibly. It requires them to declare any financial interests that might influence their work and prohibits accepting gifts or quid pro quo arrangements. The aim is to maintain public trust by promoting transparency, integrity, and accountability. If a member violates these rules, they can face investigations or sanctions. Overall, the code helps ensure members serve the public interest instead of personal or related financial gains.
