interest Explanation: As far as I can see, this is just another way of saying "interest", which covers both financial and personal interests. See, eg. This article about "Déclarations d'intérêts", with a quote from a parliamentarian: "Cette publicité assure la transparence des liens d'intérêts..." There is no suggestion that these "liens d'intérets" are anything other than the same "intérêts" mentioned in the title. http://tinyurl.com/kh2s793 I don't think "vested" interest adds anything to the legal concept of an interest, or if it does, it may mean only a particular kind of interest, see http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vested interest |

I understand the qualifier "d'intérêt" as meaning "relevant" (it would not be of interest if it were irrelevant). One would not use the term "relevant connection" here in English, but it is equivalent to a personal connection. In Melissa's example "déclarations d'intérêts", "intérêts" is a noun, and is primary because it names what is declared. |
