The EU’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation

The European Union’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) entered into force in January 2023 and gave the European Commission the power to investigate subsidies granted by non-EU governments to companies active in the EU and correct possible harmful effects they may have on the EU market.

The new rules impose severe reporting requirements on the companies entering M&A transactions or participating in large-scale procurement procedures in the EU. They also give the European Commission the right to review on its own initiative any other market situations where foreign subsidies might undermine the level playing field in the internal market.

Are companies ready for the notification obligations which will be effective as of 12 October 2023?

Please join us on 19 September 2023 at 11:00 a.m. EEST for a webinar, where we will discuss:

• Overview of the FSR framework
• New reporting obligations and related challenges
• Brief overview of review procedures and likely focus of EC investigations
• Impact in case of non-compliance
• Practical view on how to prepare for FSR compliance and manage FSR-related risks.

Please note that the discussions will be held in English.
