New Cyprus whistleblowing legislation regulates the disclosure
or reporting of breaches of EU and Cyprus law in the public and
private sectors. The new legislation, the Protection of Persons
Reporting Breaches of Union and National Law of 2022 (the
Whistleblowing Law), applies to the reporting of
breaches of EU or Cyprus law by individuals working in the private
or public sector who acquired information on breaches of EU or
Cyprus law in a work-related context.
The Whistleblowing Law transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on
the Protection of Persons who Report Breaches of Union Law (the
Directive) into national law. In transposing the
Directive, the Whistleblowing Law applies to breaches of EU
law.
