, by inserting, in the Code of Conduct for Members of
the Parliamentary Assembly, a new Rule D.1.3, as follows
“D.1.3. This Code applies, mutatis mutandis, to Guests of
the Assembly. The following qualifications apply to the application
of the Code to Guests of the Assembly:
The requirements of Rule D.4 (written declarations of
interest) and D.6 (consequences of a failure to submit a written
declaration of interests) shall not apply to Guests of the Assembly.
However, a member of a partner for democracy delegation
who has been appointed as rapporteur for an information report must
submit, within 30 days of that appointment, a written declaration
of interests in accordance with Rule D.4.
For the avoidance of doubt, Rule D.5 on oral declarations
of interest relevant to a debate applies to Guests of the Assembly,
who are always required to make an oral declaration of interest
if they have any such interests.”
