"However, the original responsibility for following up and remedying the identified violation remains with the respective company."<p>I don't see how this works if it is usually companies that are corrupt to the top that have stuff that the public should know.<p>Just look at Boeing, there were countless internal issues raised about the corner cutting and it was just ignored over and over.<p>Won't this also allow a company to internally fix the issues and then sweep it under the rug?

Idea: extend the act to provide full protection for US Americans who expose espionage, sabotage (and possibly worse things) carried out in EU countries.
Honestly sort of depressing how everything follows US policy: NDAA contained whistleblower-protection language--and we have to be proud of it. Couldn't other "western liberal democracies" just initiate their own policy initiatives--sounds like I'm denigrating US--I'm not--but couldn't other countries initiate their own first, why have to wait and play second fiddle? Always like this. US passes some law, then you see, like the dominoes fall elsewhere--depressing as it gives the impression they were too scared to pass before US...ugh. Progress controlled from one source is not diverse enough to succeed. We need more :)
