Abstract

On October 23, 2019, the European Union adopted the Directive on protecting whistleblowers. The Directive was intended to be a groundbreaking tool in protecting whistleblowers. The Directive introduces essential and correct standards to protect the interests of the European Union and whistleblowers who report breaches of EU law. The whistleblower protection model is designed to go beyond any standards of whistleblower protections in the Member States. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of the Directive is difficult to assess without complete transposition in the Member States. The process did not end with the saying as of December 17, 2021 in Poland, which is only at the draft bill stage. The author notes that the Directive does not provide a comprehensive model for reporting irregularities, which results in an incomplete conceptualization of this institution.
