Commission introduces new anonymous whistleblower tool
Yesterday, the European Commission introduced a new tool to enable individuals to alert the Commission anonymously about antitrust violations. The tool protects the whistleblower’s anonymity through an encrypted messaging system that allows two-way communications. The service is run by a specialized external service provider acting as intermediary. You can read more on this topic via the following link: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-591_en.htm
The Commission aims to ensure overall effective whistleblower protection across the EU (5.7.2016 EC Communication and 26.1.2017 Inception Impact Assessment). It also launched a public consultation. Until 29 May 2017, interested stakeholders can submit their views and experiences on the benefits and drawbacks of whistleblower protection.
