Following the meeting at the cabinet, some follow-up is required.
Case studies
Name of a 'happy whistleblower'
Names of two ethics correspondents
Transmission notes to EP
I suggest the following:
Christoph, can you prepare some case studies? Examples that spring to mind: Renauld (MO) – source is a whistleblower. Fiji (MO) – whistleblowers were protected against counterclaim. Laurent/Rouffaud (MO) – refusal to waive immunity of a whistleblower. Maybe OLAF has more, Anton Penneman is a good contact for this.
Karen, can you contact OLAF at director level for the second point? To get the name of a whistleblower who is willing to speak to the press is a bit delicate.
I will do a transmission note and call two ethics correspondents.
