The main protective measure may be considered the ban on applying retaliatory measures against the whistleblower and other natural and legal persons (e.g. colleagues, assistants of the whistleblower, persons close to the whistleblower, legal entities of which the whistleblower is a partner, etc.).

c) the authorized person will inform the Whistleblower about the result of the investigation and about the proposed measures within 30 days from the notification of receipt of the notification - (the deadline may be extended twice by up to 30 days in factually or legally complex cases.
