Summary/Abstract: Pantouflage is a specific form of conflict of interest of public officers, which differs from the classic conflict of interest by the mode of prepartion, the realization of conflict of interest, as well ad by its subsequent effect. This form of conflict can do serious damage to the public interest, since it is based on two abuses – the abuse of authority and the abuse of privileged information. Therefore, a significant intervention of the State is essential for solving this kind of conflict of interest. On the one hand, it is necessary to have precise legal regulations and efficient mechanism for the prevention of pantouflage, but on the other hand, „a second chance“ should be given to former public officers, who would, upon the end of their public office, continue, their professional careers without creating conflict of interest.
