The European Commission published last week its draft Regulation on distortive foreign subsidies. This client alert provides a brief description of, and some practical thoughts in relation to, this likely soon-to-be-adopted

The Regulation, once adopted, will subject some companies that have received subsidies outside the EU to new requirements including an obligation to notify the European Commission before they acquire a target that is active in the EU, and an obligation to disclose that they have received a subsidy when they participate in EU tenders.
