Artikel 116 Meldung von Verstößen und Schutz von Hinweisgebern

Summary What does Article 116 of the MiCA regulation say?

This is a notably brief article that serves as a cross-reference provision, directing readers to an existing piece of EU law.

Rather than establishing its own detailed whistleblower framework, it simply incorporates Directive (EU) 2019/1937 (the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive) to govern how infringements of this Regulation are reported and how those who report them are protected.

Important points:

The EU Whistleblower Protection Directive (2019/1937) applies in full to the reporting of infringements under this Regulation.
Persons who report infringements are entitled to the protections established under that Directive.
This article does not create new whistleblower rules but instead delegates entirely to an existing legal framework.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Für die Meldung von Verstößen gegen diese Verordnung und den Schutz von Personen, die solche Verstöße melden, gilt die Richtlinie (EU) 2019/1937.
