保护举报人制度目前正在修正。一项即将提出的法案预期在 2014 年 1 月前生效,该法案将在公务员制度中建立一项全面的分三级保护举报人的制度:公共部门各机构、部委和国家级廉政事务官员(现任基本权利专员的一项新任务)。
The system for the protection of whistle-blowers is currently being amended. A pending legal bill, which is expected to come into force by January 2014, will create a comprehensive regime for whistle-blower protection on three levels in the civil service: integrity officers in the institutions of the public sector, in the Ministry and on the national level (a new task for the existing Commissioner for Fundamental Rights). On the first two levels, the protective guarantees apply only to civil servants. However, anybody will be able to report — also anonymously — to the Fundamental Rights Commissioner (Ombudsman) who will exercise a supervisory, but not investigative, function. The integrity officers can also give recommendations to the ethical (disciplinary) chambers for civil servants.
