The National Consultative Commission on Human Rights or ‘Commission Nationale Consultative des Droit de L’Homme’ (CNCDH) has published its report on the transposition of the EU Directive on Whistleblowing into French Law.
CNCDH’s opinion states protection should be extended to cover whistleblowers who disclose breaches of national law as well as EU law. It also recommends that the new law goes beyond the minimum requirements of the Directive including protecting disclosure to trade unions, provision of financial and psychological support for whistleblowers and granting asylum to foreign national whistleblowers.
