Foreign subsidies regulation (FSR)

The FSR is designed to ensure fair competition by addressing distortions caused by foreign subsidies which may negatively impact the EU internal market. Our EU & Competition team advises both public and private entities with the notification of transactions involving financial contributions from non-EU governments. We also support governments and businesses during investigations conducted by the European Commission on its own initiative.
