"Mr President, I know from personal experience how important real whistle-blower protection can be in combating corruption. It includes, firstly, a detailed definition of the concept, secondly, specific rights and obligations, thirdly, precise handling deadlines, fourthly, a right to a hearing and information, fifthly, specific training for EU officials and, sixthly, an independent point of contact that will explain the options while preserving anonymity.
Articles 22a and 22b of the EU Staff Regulations do not meet these criteria. In fact, in the EU institutions we do not have any real whistle-blower protection. What we do have, however, is an imminent reform of the EU Staff Regulations, and that is a huge opportunity. Therefore, my question to the Commission and the Council is this: are you willing now to reform Articles 22a and 22b? Are you prepared now to table a fitting and appropriate proposal in this regard?"@en1
