via New law to muzzle whistleblowers | EurActiv.
It looks like the corporate lobby is alive and well in Europe, with potential whistleblowers on the ropes.
Let me ask an open question:
Should whistleblowers have greater legal protection in Europe?
Thoughts?
Dr Alf's Blog 
Whistleblowers are as vital as informants about crime.
Because whistleblowers are indeed uncovering crime either in business or banks.
To curtail the freedom to whistleblow is a march into dictatorship too far.
What is the point of having law if that law is breached and then the only people who might inform the authorities, the whistlebower has lost the ability to inform the authorities.
