EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR)

Trying to navigate the complexities of the FSR? Let our competition experts guide you through this evolving regulation, ensuring compliance, helping you avoid penalties, and dealing with notifications in practice, so you can confidently focus on growing your business.

Under the EU FSR regime, all companies operating within the EU must notify mergers and involvement in public procurement processes that meet certain criteria if they have received foreign subsidies, i.e. government subsidies provided by a non-EU country. Those that do not comply may be subjected to temporary measures, corrective actions, information requests and inspections, as well as face penalties amounting to 10% of their turnover.

Our experts will guide you through the complexity of FSR rules and help streamline your notification processes. We can also provide strategic advice on Merger Control and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
