Wrongdoing and unlawful behaviour in the public and private sectors can seriously harm the public interest. Those who work within or interact with organisations engaged in such conduct are often the first to detect potential risks. When these individuals step forward and report breaches that threaten the public good, they play a vital role in uncovering wrongdoing and protecting society. Recent cases such as LuxLeaks and Dieselgate have powerfully highlighted this importance.
Adopted in 2019, Directive (EU) 2019/1937, known as the Whistleblowing Directive, is a landmark EU instrument establishing a comprehensive framework to protect those who report breaches of Union law.
The transposition deadline for the Directive was 17 December 2021. Milieu is proud to have conducted the compliance assessment of the transposition of the Whistleblowing Directive in all EU Member States. Our work examined whether national transposition was:
-
Complete
-
Timely
-
Compliant with the Directive
Through this assessment, Milieu supported the European Commission in strengthening whistleblower protection across the EU.
