5.10 What can I do if I consider that the above protection rules have been infringed?

There may be situation where a private pilot will consider that the protection principles have not been complied with, for example if a proceeding has been open 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)).
