Directive

Protection of persons reporting on breaches of Union law

Whistleblower Protection
This directive protects whistleblowers from retaliation for reporting wrongdoing and harm to the public interest. It provides a framework for mandatory reporting channels, anonymity and confidentiality, and responsible disclosure. It was passed with very broad agreement, and experts agree that within the limits of the EU's responsibility, it's an important step forwards.
