2.14 What can I do if I consider that the above protection rules have been infringed? There may be situation where an aviation professional will consider that the protection principles have not been complied with, for example if he/she has been subject to prejudice from his/her employer on the basis of an occurrence report or if a proceeding has been opened by a Member State. Regulation 376/2014 addresses such situation and requires each Member State to put in place an entity to which employees and contracted personnel may report alleged infringements of the protection rules contained in the Regulation (Article 16(12)). The Regulation also ensures that employees and contracted personnel are not penalised for reporting alleged infringements (Article 16(12)).
