Malta assassination and whistle-blowers

Tuesday’s plenary sitting honoured the memory of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia with a minute’s silence. Caruana Galizia, who uncovered abuses of power and corruption in Malta, was assassinated on 16 October.

Also on Tuesday, MEPs called for EU-wide protection for whistle-blowers acting in the public interest.

Posted workers

Negotiations with the Council on revised rules for the posting of workers can get underway after Parliament gave the green light on Wednesday. MEPs want to ensure better protection of posted workers and fair competition for companies and local workers.
