Protection of whistleblowers in the Polish legal system in perspective of future implementation of the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law: Key issues

The study deals with key problems related to the implementation of Directive 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, which introduces uniform rules for the protection of whistleblowers for the entire European Union. The expiry of the deadline for its implementation provided for in the Directive has contributed to the assessment of the nature of the secondary legislation contained therein, which may also be relevant in subsequent disputes related to potential allegations of its incorrect transposition. The problem of the proposed scope of the subject matter of notification, which determines protection, contained in the draft law on the protection of persons who report violations of the law, was also analyzed as it does not take into account the international obligations of the Republic of Poland, emphasized in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The study also deals with the deficit of legal protection measures for whistleblowers in the planned Polish law.
