Legal framework

Confirm the obligation and define the procedure.

Directive (EU) 2019/1937 covers public-sector legal entities, while allowing Member States to apply certain exemptions to smaller municipalities and public bodies. The relevant national transposition law must be assessed. A platform does not replace approved policies, responsibilities and internal procedures.

Recommended preparation

Identify owners, intake channels, covered matters, access rules, deadlines, communication with reporting persons, retention and documentation.
