Bulgaria is one step closer to the transposition of the Directive on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law

In 2019, Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (“the Directive”) was adopted at European Union (“EU” or “Union”) level. The objective of the Directive is to improve the application of EU law in certain areas by introducing a minimum level of harmonization with regard to mechanisms and protection measures when reporting breaches of Union law. Thus, the European legislator seeks to encourage those who have information about breaches of Union law to report it.
