The new Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) started its application on 12 July 2023.

The article provides an overview and practical considerations on key issues regarding inter alia the powers of the European Commission, the obligations of the companies to notify concentrations or their involvement in public procurement procedures, and the notification thresholds.
