On 25 October, a bill was passed in the House of Representatives to transpose Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report violations of Union law.
The purpose of the Directive is to set minimum standards for better protection of persons who report violations of EU law (“whistleblowers”).
The Belgian law, published yesterday in the Belgian State Gazette, transposes the obligations imposed by the Directive on private sector enterprises into Belgian law.
In this Newsletter, we set out the new obligations imposed on enterprises on this basis.
We hope you enjoy the read!
