In this webinar our Bird & Bird Competition and Public Procurement law experts will help you understand how to identify potential risks, avoid common pitfalls and be well prepared for navigating the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR).

The FSR is a measure designed to prevent distortions in the EU's internal market by non-EU government subsidies. All companies operating in the EU must disclose any foreign subsidies related to mergers or public procurement activities that meet specific criteria. Non-compliance can lead to provisional measures, corrective actions, information requests, inspections, and hefty penalties of up to 10% of a company’s turnover.

During the course of this webinar we will explore the procedural and legal risks under the FSR, sharing firsthand experiences and best practices. The discussion will also include an examination of recent cases, offering insights into the European Commission's operations, and a look at how companies are responding to the FSR. Our aim is to prepare in-house lawyers, as well as M&A and public procurement specialists, to effectively navigate the EU's Foreign Subsidies Regulation. Topics covered will include:

• Understanding the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), its relevance and implications
• The FSR’s impact on M&A transactions, recent cases and how to prepare
• The FSR's impact on public tenders and its implications for companies as well as contracting authorities
• Q&A
