The EU Whistleblower Directive, passed in October of 2019, mandates that all EU Member States implement whistleblower protection and anti-retaliation laws by December 17. Mark Worth, Executive Director of Whistleblowing International, has been tracking the Member States’ implementation of provisions to fulfill the Directive and expressed worry about the way in which some countries are working towards meeting the Directive. In a June 7 article, Worth wrote about the status of several Member States’ proposed whistleblower protection legislation and detailed some of the proposed laws’ flaws.
