Article 16
5b. Article 16 shall be replaced by the following: 'Article 16 An official shall, after leaving the service, continue to be bound by the duty to behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance of certain appointments or benefits. Officials intending to engage in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, within two years of leaving the service shall inform their institution thereof, using the form provided by their service, before commencing the occupational activity in question. If that activity will involve lobbying or providing advice on lobbying Union institutions, or could lead to the existence or possibility of a conflict with the legitimate interests of the institution, the Appointing Authority shall, having regard to the interests of the service, forbid him from undertaking it for a period of two years after he has left the service and apply any other conditions it thinks fit. The institution shall, after consulting the Joint Committee, notify its decision within 30 working days of being so informed formally and in writing to the official concerned. The Appointing Authority shall also apply sanctions in cases of breaches of this Article or of its decisions regarding specific occupational activities. Such sanctions shall include withholding, fully or in part, financial or non-financial benefits accrued by the (former) official. All institutions shall regularly publish a list of all cases assessed under this Article, without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data1, and shall produce an annual report which includes statistical information and details of emerging trends. Leave on personal grounds may not be granted to an official for the purpose of his engaging in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, which will involve lobbying or providing advice on lobbying an Union institution or which could lead to the existence or possibility of a conflict with the legitimate interests of his service. During the two years following his retirement or early retirement, the Appointing Authority shall send the official an annual reminder about his obligations under this Article. _______________ 1 OJ L 8, 12.1.2001, p. 1.';
