A recent article in Delano news reported why the Bill to transpose the EU Directive on whistleblowing into national law has some problematic elements.
The article states:
“It foresees a three-tiered reporting process. Only if internal and external options–with specific watchdogs and authorities–are exhausted, can whistleblowers make their information public, for example through the internet or with the help of the media. They can skip the first two stages only if there is imminent danger for the public interest.”
According to Dimitrios Kafteranis, an assistant professor in law at the Centre for Financial and Corporate Integrity at Coventry University, aspects of the law remain unclear:
“What is public interest? What is imminent danger? It’s very subjective.”
The official deadline for transposition was the 17 December 2021, which Luxembourg along with many other Member States failed to meet.
