The EU has extended state aid control to the support of businesses provided by non-EU governments. We help companies to adapt to the new regulations and to assess the related business risks.
Expert legal support for the new EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation
The new law introduced essentially three new tools, one which qualifies as a second merger control screening by the EU, a second which introduces new requirements for public tenders and a third that enabling the European Commission to initiate ex-officio investigations into individual cases against third country subsidies.
The FSR also provides companies active in the EU with more options to file complaints against competitors receiving third country subsidies that effect the EU market, but it also creates new obstacles for many companies from outside the EU and it will lead to additional regulatory requirements for companies, even to those with EU headquarters.
We offer expert legal support to help companies navigate these changes, ensuring compliance and mitigating business risks associated with the new foreign subsidies regulation.
