In recent years, whistleblowers have become an important part in uncovering misconduct – be it in companies, governmental bodies, or other institutions. This has brought widespread attention to whistleblowing and its consequences. Thereby, the European Parliament recognized that the protection of whistleblowers in the European Union (EU) was inconsistent and insufficient. In view of this, the European Parliament adopted a directive which was to be implemented by the member states to establish common minimum standards of whistleblower protection within the EU.
