This first EU Whistleblower Directive webinar of 2023 featured
NAVEX whistleblowing expert Jan Stappers and Susan Battye, Partner
at Walkers (Ireland) LLP. The session focused on the latest
developments in whistleblowing, key steps organizations should take
to ensure effective whistleblowing practices are in place, and
updates specific to the Irish transposition of the Directive.
By December 17, 2021, EU Member States were required to
transpose the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive into their
national law. Now, over one year past the deadline, there are still
several countries within the EU that still need to transpose the
Directive into their national whistleblowing laws.
At the time of writing, these include Austria, the Czech
Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland,
Slovakia and Spain.
