EU gives 'high-level' protection to whistleblowers

Whistleblowers across the European Union have won greater protection

Whistleblowers across the European Union have won greater protection under landmark legislation aimed at encouraging reports of wrongdoing. Ironically, employees of the EU and its agencies are not covered by the legislation. We hear from Robert McCoy, who was employed by the EU as a financial controller and suffered harassment at work after he blew the whistle on alleged fraudulent expenses claims. Also in the programme, now that the Notre Dame fire has been extinguished, how can the cathedral be reborn? We ask Robert Read of Hiscox Insurance. Plus, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Jane Wakefield is at the annual TED Conference in Vancouver, Canada, meeting people with a specific idea of how to change the world for the better
