The Romanian Government has adopted a draft law on whistleblower protection and submitted it to Parliament.
The new legislation is being introduced to transpose the EU Directive on whistleblowing into national law.
The draft law sets 31 March 2022 as the date law shall entering into force. This deadline is mentioned also in Romania’s recovery and resilience plan.
A similar draft law has already been presented to Parliament initiated by an MP, Stelian Ion.
Romania is delayed in implementing the Directive and missed the official 17 December 2021 deadline for all EU Member States to complete transposition and according to information online, the EU Commission has started infringement proceedings.
