The Estonian Ministry of Justice is preparing to develop a draft Bill to transpose the EU Directive on Whistleblowing.

In a press statement from July 2020, Estonian Minister of Justice Raivo Aeg said:

“A number of recent cases clearly show that whistleblowing can have unintended consequences. Creating information channels and providing legal protection contributes to the development of a transparent and open society, and it is certainly important for companies to solve their problems quickly and adequately.”
