What's new?

Bill No. 249 proposing amendments to the existing Protection of the Whistle-blower Act (Chapter 527 of the Laws of Malta) has finally been published.

What is a Bill?

A Bill is a proposed draft law which is yet to be discussed before being enacted as law. Therefore, this may not necessarily be the final approved law.

What is the scope?

The scope is that of transposing the new Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law.

A Directive sets minimum common standards which must be enforced by the EU Member States. Therefore, Member States are free to legislate and extend further protection to whistle-blowers, provided that those minimum standards are not undermined.
