description One of the concerns of the public authorities governing us should, without doubt, be to make sure that, the trust of the population in the state institutions is increased by means of the activity carried out in respect of the country administration. From this perspective, the article proposes for analysis a current topic on the transparency of the activity of public authorities, viewed from the perspective of the citizen who may wonder if a public official or a civil servant who receives a good during his mandate or position can still be objective? In this respect, we consider that the topic is of interest both to legal specialists and to citizens, future public officials or civil servants, as it provides information on how they should act if they find themselves in such a situation and to avoid conflicts of interests. The study also presents and summarizes information on French legislation regarding the analyzed topic in order to be able to know, from the point of view of comparative law, some aspects related to the approach of this rather sensitive issue of gifts and invitations that can be offered or requested by a public servant and the legal risks that are entailed. Our analysis will emphasize the importance of respecting both the legality of the activity of public authorities and integrity, seen as a fundamental ethical value.
