CHAPTER II Reporting methods and common provisions applicable to reports of breaches of the law

ARTICLE 5

Reporting methods

Under this Law, the reporting methods are the following:
1. internal reporting;
2. external reporting.
Reporting on violations of the law shall be carried out mainly through existing internal reporting channels. The whistleblower in the public interest who carries out a report on violations of the law can, however, choose between the internal reporting channel and the external reporting channel. When choosing the reporting channel, the whistleblower in the public interest may take into account aspects such as:
1. the existence of the risk of retaliation, in case of reporting through internal channels;
2. the impossibility of remedying the breach effectively through internal reporting channels.
In the absence of internal reporting channels in the case of legal persons governed by private law with fewer than 50 employees, other than those referred to in Article 9 para. (4) , the whistleblower in the public interest who carries out a report on violations of the law uses the external channel.
Reporting shall be made in writing, on paper or in electronic format, by communication to telephone lines or other voicemail systems, or by face-to-face meeting, at the request of the whistleblower in the public interest.

ARTICLE 6

Content of reports

The report shall include, at least, the following: name and surname, contact details of the whistleblower in the public interest, the professional context in which the information was

obtained, the data subject, if known, the description of the deed likely to constitute a violation of the law within an authority, public institution, any other legal person of public law, as well as within the legal person of private law, as well as, where appropriate, the evidence in support of the report, the date and signature, as the case may be.

By way of exception from the provisions of para. (1) , the reporting that does not include the name, surname, contact details or signature of the whistleblower in the public interest shall be examined and settled to the extent that it contains indications regarding the violations of the law.

ARTICLE 7

Record keeping of reports

The reports shall be entered in a register, which shall include the date of receipt of the report, the name and surname, the contact details of the whistleblower in the public interest, the object of reporting and the method of settlement.

(1) point (c) shall be required to keep records of the reports in the register. The register shall be kept in computerised form. Authorities, public institutions, other legal entities of public law, as well as private legal entities with at least 50 employees, as well as competent authorities according to the provisions of article 3 point 15, through the designated person or compartment, have the obligation to maintain statistics on reports regarding violations of the law.
Authorities, public institutions, other legal entities of public law, as well as private legal entities shall keep records of all reports received in compliance with the confidentiality requirements. Reports are kept for 5 years. After the expiration of the 5-year retention period, they are destroyed, regardless of the support on which they are kept.

1. by making a recording of the conversation in a durable and accessible form, subject to the consent of the whistleblower in the public interest;
2. through a complete and accurate transcript of the conversation.

The designated person shall give the whistleblower in the public interest the opportunity to verify, rectify and agree to the minutes of the conversation by signing it.

The period referred to in para. (2) shall also apply in the case of the transcription referred to in paragraph (a). (3) point (b) and of the minutes referred to in paragraph 3(a) of this Article. (4) and (5).

ARTICLE 8

Obligation to maintain confidentiality

The person appointed to settle the report shall not disclose the identity of the whistleblower in the public interest nor the information that would allow his direct or indirect identification, unless he/she has his/her express consent.
By way of exception from the provisions of para. (1) , the identity of the whistleblower in the public interest and any other information referred to in para. (1) may be disclosed only if this is an obligation imposed by law, in compliance with the conditions and limits laid down therein.
