ASCOLA participates in EU FSR Consultation

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.
