The European Commission (“Commission”) published a White Paper proposing to create three new review mechanisms aimed at addressing the potential distortive effects caused by foreign subsidies in the Single market generally; in acquisitions of EU companies; and during EU public procurement procedures.
A public consultation is now open until 23 September 2020 during which stakeholders can provide their views on the options set out in the White Paper.
The new mechanisms would apply to all non-EU companies benefitting from non-EU subsidies.
New filing obligations would apply if non-EU subsidies might have a distortive effect on competition on the EU market.
