The EU Whistleblower Directive, which was adopted in 2019, requires all EU member states to establish rules to protect whistleblowers and to ensure that legal protection is provided to those who report breaches of EU law in certain areas. The Directive requires organizations with 50 or more employees to set up internal reporting channels for whistleblowers by December 17, 2021, and to inform employees and the public about the channels. However, the exact requirements and timelines for implementation may vary slightly between different EU member states.

In Germany, a whistleblowing system became mandatory for some organizations with the adoption of the EU Whistleblower Directive. Specifically, organizations with 50 or more employees are required to implement an internal whistleblowing system that meets certain standards, such as ensuring confidentiality and protecting whistleblowers from retaliation. This requirement was supposed to be implemented into national law by December 17, 2021, but the deadline was missed. The German Bundestag passed the law on December 16, 2022, but the Bundesrat refused to approve it on February 10, 2023, so a specific timeline for implementation is currently uncertain, but it is safe to say that the new Whistleblower Protection Act will come into force very soon.

A whistleblower is a person who discloses information about illegal, unethical or improper activities within an organization. The term refers to someone who practices whistleblowing by bringing wrongdoing or violations of laws or company policies to the public's attention. Whistleblowers may be internal or external and may be protected by law enforcement, the media or other organizations that perceive the public interest in exposing wrongdoing.

The EU Whistleblower Directive is a European Union legal regulation that aims to protect whistleblowers across the EU. The directive was adopted in 2019 and must be transposed into national law by all EU member states by December 17, 2021.

Under the directive, workers who report violations of EU law must be protected from discrimination and retaliation by employers. The violations can occur in a variety of areas, including environmental protection, consumer protection, public procurement and taxation.

The directive also calls for the establishment of secure and confidential reporting systems in companies and government agencies so that whistleblowers can report violations without fear of retaliation. In addition, member states must ensure that whistleblowers have access to adequate information and support to assert their rights.

The EU Whistleblower Directive is an important step towards improving transparency and fighting corruption and malpractice in the EU.
