Fines that may have been imposed on the Bank by the Authority or the Relevant Competent Authority due to violations by the Board of the Law or the Articles of Association during the fiscal year shall be deducted from the remuneration. The General Assembly may decide not to deduct such fines or some of them if it deems that such fines were not the result of default or error of the Board.
