European Commission Launches First Review of Foreign Subsidies Regulation
The Commission has opened its first review of the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), inviting feedback from businesses, law firms, Member States, industry associations, researchers, and individuals.
The consultation will gather views on how the FSR is being implemented and enforced, focusing on:
- How foreign subsidies that distort the internal market are assessed;
- Application of the balancing test, weighing positive against negative effects;
- The Commission’s own-initiative investigations into potentially distortive subsidies;
- Notification thresholds;
- The complexity and cost of the rules for businesses.
The input will be included in the Commission’s FSR Review Report, due to be presented to the European Parliament and the Council.
Contributions can be made via the Commission’s Have Your Say portal until 18 November 2025. Clayton & Segura can support and advise you to prepare and submit your feedback.
