President of the Ground Jury, Chief Steward, Veterinary Delegates, or Course Designer at
Official International Events, International Championships and Games.
 Having a close personal relationship with an Athlete competing in a competition that I am
officiating at.
 Having recently treated a Horse competing in a Competition that I am officiating at.
On becoming aware of a potential Conflict of Interest I undertake to promptly notify the FEI HQ (or
where the conflict only arises and/or is identified on-site, the President of the Ground Jury) of any of
the above or other possible conflicts of interest or circumstances that may be perceived as such.

Conflicts must be avoided whenever practicable. However, conflicts may be linked to experience and
expertise that is necessary to qualify Officials. The specific balance between conflict and expertise is
regulated by the General Regulations and the relevant Sport Rules.
In the course of my duties or when representing the FEI I will refrain from making any public
statements, including to the media or in social media, that might cause harm to the FEI or to
equestrian sport in general. This includes statements that might create a perception of bias.

I will not place bets on Athletes and Horses competing at FEI Events or otherwise receive any financial
or other gain as a product of a particular result.

The breach of any obligation assumed under this Code of Conduct and/or any breach of the FEI Rules
and Regulations may lead to any of the following sanctions as stipulated in the FEI Rules:
 Warning letter
 Obligation to attend an FEI course and/or to pass an exam
 Fine
 Suspension from officiating duties (provisional or for a stated period of time)
 Removal from the relevant and appropriate FEI lists of Officials
 Any other sanctions as stated in the relevant FEI Rules and Regulations.
