It also includes having in effective procedures to report misconduct, to protect, in accordance with the standards set out in Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council1 , people reporting misconduct, breaches of academic standards or ethical standards, as well as discrete procedures, based on protecting privacy and the presumption of innocence, to handle misconduct reported to handle misconduct.

Annex I – point 20
Annex I – point 20
20. The proposed act should be legally binding across the Union. The proposal should aim to create a legal framework which offers sufficient flexibility to balance the rights and obligations on a case-by-case basis and can be applied throughout the Union despite the vast diversity in the national and regional scientific research systems. It should create a starting point for the development of legal minimum standards for the freedom of scientific research through case-law from European courts, including the Court of Justice of the European Union. The proposal should acknowledge and respect that the Treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, as well as national constitutions and subsequent national laws may define the boundaries and parameters of this freedom to align with societal values and priorities.
