* A conflict of interest could arise in particular as a result of direct or indirect economic, financial, political or national affinity, family, emotional life or any other shared interest. 

## III – Remedial measures 

If the economic operator declares one of the situations of exclusion listed in sections I or II above, it can provide evidence to the effect that measures taken by the economic operator are sufficient to demonstrate its reliability despite the existence of a relevant ground for exclusion. Such measures, which will be reviewed by the contracting authority in light of Article 57 of Directive 2014/24/EU, may include e.g. technical, organisational and personnel measures to prevent further occurrence, compensation of damage or payment of fines. The relevant documentary evidence which illustrates the remedial measures taken must be provided in an annex to this declaration. 

The provision of remedial measures does not apply to: 

• point I.D (Other Grounds), except where a natural person who is a member of the economic operator’s administrative, management or supervisory body or has powers of representation, decision or control therein is the target of a sanction or restrictive measure, in which the case the economic operator may propose as a remedial measure that the natural person(s) concerned shall not be involved in the proposed contract, or 

• during a period of exclusion from participation in procurement or concession award procedures imposed by a final judgment in the Member States where the judgment is effective. 

## IV – Evidence upon request 

Upon request and within the time limit set therein, the contracting authority will require the economic operator to submit the following means of proof as evidence for the absence of grounds for exclusion declared in sections I and II of this declaration: 

(a) as regards point I.A (grounds relating to criminal convictions), the production of an extract from the relevant register, such as judicial records or, failing that, of an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the Member State or country of origin or the country where the economic operator is established showing that those requirements have been met; and 

(b) as regards point I.B (payment of taxes or social security contributions) and paragraphs (b) – (g) of point I.C (insolvency, conflicts of interests or professional misconduct), a certificate issued by the competent authority in the Member State or country concerned. 

Where the Member State or country in question does not issue such documents or certificates, or where these do not cover all the cases specified in points I.A, I.B or in paragraphs (b) – (g) of point I.C, they may be replaced by a declaration on oath or, in Member States or countries where there is no provision for declarations on oath, by a solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the Member State or country of origin or in the Member State or country where the economic operator is established. 

The economic operator is not required to submit the evidence if it has already been submitted for another procurement procedure with the same contracting authority. The documents must have been issued no more than one year before the date of their request by the contracting authority and must still be valid at that date. The signatory declares that the economic operator has already provided the documentary evidence for a previous procedure and confirms that there has been no change in its situation:
