The Czech Government were due to convene and discuss a draft law to transpose the EU Directive on whistleblowing at a meeting on the 25th of January 2021 following the closure of the procedure to collate inter-ministerial comments.
Deliberations were suspended and re-scheduled for the next meeting. The reasons for the delay were explained by Jana Malรกฤovรก, Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs at a press conference on 25th of January 2021.
Malรกฤovรก clarified that there were still some remaining ambiguity between the approach of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. It was deemed necessary to fine-tune the intended role of the public office of the Labor Inspectorate in the proposed framework and that such detailed technical provision needed to be defined in the legislation. The Draft Law is publicly available in the legislative library.
