QUESTION 3:
There is no single response to the question, by when must we
have a whistleblowing solution up and running? The answer depends
on the size of your organisation and where you operate, but you
will have somewhere between two years and four years to comply with
the EU Whistleblower Protection directive.
Within two years of the directive being approved, which was
October 7 2019, each EU country must transpose and apply it
nationally. What this means is that each country will interpret the
directive and make it law in their own way and at different speeds
during the two years. National authorities will also be required to
inform citizens and provide training for public authorities on how
to deal with whistleblowers.
