On September 11, 2024, the General Court (Fourth Chamber, Extended Composition) delivered a judgment in Case T‑793/22 TU v European Parliament.[1] In essence, the Court ruled that The European Parliament infringed certain protection rules relating to the status of an “informant” of a parliamentary assistant. In the judgment, the case documents, and the press release, the terms “informant” and “whistle-blower” are used interchangeably. By confining itself to relieving the person concerned of his duties, the Parliament did not take all the measures necessary to ensure that he had balanced and effective protection against any form of retaliation.
