EU to better protect whistle-blowers by 2021
By EUobserver
The European Council has adopted new rules to protect whistle-blowers by 2021, which could save "€5.8 to €9.6bn each year for the EU as a whole". "The new rules will require the creation of safe channels for reporting both within an organisation - private or public - and to public authorities. It will also provide a high level of protection to whistle-blowers against retaliation" it added.
