or performance of a Contract, subject to additional information, such as a compliance
program, that such Person (or, respectively, their subcontractor, Director, employee or
agent) may consider useful to provide in the context of the Statement of Integrity, that
would give grounds to consider that this sanction, conviction or other resolution is not
relevant in the context of the present Contract;
b) Participation in a criminal organization, terrorist offences or offences related to terrorist
activities, child labor, or other offences related to human trafficking;
c) Having created an entity in a different jurisdiction with the intention of avoiding tax or

b. Has been declared ineligible by one of the multilateral development banks signatories to
the Mutual Recognition Agreement of 9 April 2010.5 In the event of such ineligibility, the Person may attach additional information to the Statement of Integrity that would

in accordance with the legal provisions of their country of incorporation, or those of the
country of the Contracting Authority;

to pass on its surplus to their state, can acquire rights and liabilities, borrow funds and be liable for
