Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law was transposed by Law 361/2022 on the protection of whistle-blowers (“Law 361/2022”).
Law 361/2022 came into force at the end of December 2022, and it provides for: (i) a certain protection mechanism for persons (including employees) who report “breaches of the law”, either internally or externally, (ii) certain obligations for employers (under particular conditions), as well as for, (iii) rules regarding the reporting itself (either internal or external).
Barely entered into force, an amendment was soon brought to Law 361/2022 by means of Law 67/2023, which came into effect on 31 March 2023.
