That’s not my own brainchild but @Savva’s who shared this here, so I would refer to him.
However, I believe the context may already answer your question, as his full sentence is:
[A] member having a potential conflict of interest (e.g. due to being subject to previous investigations or complaints regarding the issue or having a conflicting commercial interest) [is required to] disclose the conflict and abstain from voting.
So I’d say it’s supposed to be an example of having a conflict of interest and it’s trying to avoid votes being influenced by the former.
