Article 87 Reporting of infringements and protection of reporting persons
Summary What does Article 87 of the AI act regulation say?
This is a notably brief article that serves as a cross-reference provision, directing readers to existing EU whistleblower protection law.
Rather than establishing new rules, it simply confirms that the EU Whistleblowing Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937) governs both the reporting of infringements of this Regulation and the protection of those who report them.
Important points:
- The EU Whistleblowing Directive (2019/1937) applies in full to infringement reporting under this Regulation.
- Persons who report infringements of this Regulation are entitled to the protections established under that Directive.
- No new or separate whistleblower framework is created by this Regulation — it relies entirely on the existing one.
Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
Directive (EU) 2019/1937 shall apply to the reporting of infringements of this Regulation and the protection of persons reporting such infringements.
