Specifically, what assessments have been made of Mr. Tavares' personal interests, considering his previous work for the financial private sector, helding senior positions in Banco Santander de Negócios, Banco Chemical Finance, Banco Pinto e Sotto Mayor, Banco Totta Açores and Banco Cisf, and are there any matters which he has been relieved from dealing with, under Article 11a 2 of the Staff Regulations.

Dear Stephan Karas,
Firstly, I would like to thank you very much for your reply. However, please let me ask you for a further clarification. If I understood it correctly, Staff Regulations do not apply to the Vice-Chairman of ESMA. Therefore, could you please let me know which rules apply to this post in order to avoid conflicts of interests? Thank you very much for your consideration and your time.
Yours sincerely,
Ester Araúzo
