The European Union's highest court on Thursday handed Germany a fine of €34 million for failing to adequately protect whistleblowers, Report informs via DW.
The case at the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice (ECJ) stemmed from a March 2023 complaint by the European Commission alleging that Germany did not implement EU law on time.
Four other countries were also ordered to pay for their failure to create laws that protect whistleblowers — €2.3 million for the Czech Republic and €1.75 million for Hungary. Luxembourg and Estonia were slapped with fines of up to €500,000.
