Domestic Government bill on the protection of the whistleblower provides significantly less protection than Inquiry proposals, considers civil law professor Claes Sandgren. But Labour Minister Ylva Johansson (S) hit back at the criticism.
The report on the protection of the whistleblower suggested in 2014 an obligation for employers to have internal procedures that employees could blow the whistle on irregularities internally. They also wanted protection for internal visselblåsares identity and that a whistleblower who suffer reprisals should be able to get compensation.
Worse protection
But when the government earlier this week presented its proposal was only one of the three parts with.
– My conclusion is that this will be a far less protection than it would have been with the commission’s proposals. It’s that simple, says Claes Sandgren, a professor of civil law and former president of the Institute for bribes, said.
– One must say it is progress that still face this the possibility of damages. But the other two things are very important.
“For fuzzy”
Ylva Johansson does not Sandgren’s conclusions.
– I think the proposal we have put means a significant gain, she said.
instead, emphasizes the Minister of Labour that the commission’s proposals on procedures for whistleblower was too vague and that it would not agree to supervise such legislation.
– We thought it was too vague and considered that it was very doubtful whether it actually leads to more alarms. That was the reason we did not go ahead with the proposal. It felt like it was neither whether or not minced, she said.
Thus also dropped the proposal on the protection of visselblåsares identity.
– the proposal on confidentiality hung together with the proposed procedures. When we went on the last proposal fell the second draft also says Ylva Johansson.
