Protection proposal for public service whistleblowers in France

In June 2013, France’s Public Administration Minister announced a proposal to protect whistleblowers in the public service.

This proposal is a follow-up measure to France’s January 2013 enactment a law to protect whistleblowers who report health and environmental dangers (Droit d’alerte en matière de santé publique et d’environnement) in response to several public health scandals.
