This is the monthly roundup of updates provided by the EU Whistleblowing Monitor team of country editors detailing national developments in the transposition of the EU Directive on Whistleblowing during September 2023.
It has been over one year and nine months since the deadline for all Member States to have fully transposed Directive 2019/1937.
Two countries are still listed as delayed – no countries have not started.
No country can be yet considered fully transposed - the EU Commission started and progressed infringement proceedings against most Member States and made referrals to the European Court of Justice for transposition failure. The conformity study assessing Member States transposition efforts is currently underway.
Updates:
· In Germany, NGO files formal complaint with EU Commission
· New guidelines published in Cyprus
· Further concern for new framework in Bulgaria
· New analysis on Poland’s transposition published

· New Guide: “A Tech Workers Guide to Whistleblowing: Ireland Edition”
Twenty-five Member States have now adopted Transposition Laws and Transposition Bills have been issued in at least two countries.
All these and more can be found on the Monitor Resources and Roundup pages.
