The Academic Society for Competition Law (ASCOLA) has submitted its comments to the European Commission on potential guidelines for the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). The EU Commission had issued a call for evidence on the matter. The Foreign Subsidies Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2022/2560) shall ensure a “level playing field” for competition in the EU by “by establishing a harmonised framework to address distortions caused, directly or indirectly, by foreign subsidies”. It is the first time that ASCOLA has participated in such a call for stakeholder evidence or submitted such a statement to a law-making or enforcing body. Participation in the Working Group was open to all ASCOLA members. The effort was coordinated by our Vice-President Magali Eben.
