Description
This book provides guidance to the laws of whistleblowing in the EU banking and financial sector.
Covering all the relevant EU legislation, including the Directive on the protection of whistleblowers, the book provides insights from 3 EU member states - France, Luxembourg, and Ireland - alongside the relevant international, Council of Europe, and US laws. Following the adoption of the Directive on whistleblowing, the book offers the necessary understanding of the legal landscape, relevant case-law analysis, and examples stemming from EU and US jurisdictions.
The book offers a reasoned and comparative review of the genesis and legal rules of whistleblowing in the EU banking and financial sector; it will enable readers to understand how whistleblowing started in this sector, the specific rules under EU law, and how these are transposed to selected member states. Readers will thus be able to navigate whistleblowing legislation and be informed about their rights and duties.
Providing clarity and expert analysis in a complex area, the book is a must read for researchers, government officials, and practitioners.
