Only two of nine institutions of the European Union have adopted whistleblower rules more than a year after a mandate to do so, according to a report released by the EU Ombudsman this week.
EU Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly conducted a review of the institutions which revealed that only the European Commission and the Court of Auditors have adopted internal whistleblowing policies. The institutions lagging behind include Parliament, the Council, the Court of Justice, the External Action Service, the Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions, and the Data Protection Supervisor.
