EU Competition Law Briefing
FDI screening in Europe : practical perspectives Foreign investment screening plays an increasingly important role in M&A transactions. It has taken a place alongside merger control as a key regulatory element in any deal. Navigating a multitude of regimes adds increasing time and cost to trans­ac­ti­ons.   In this EU Competition Law Briefing we will explore CMS’s recent insights in this fast moving space. Our experts from Belgium, France, Germany and the UK will share practical experiences and some of their tips and tricks.   We will address the main issues and challenges – together with some national peculiarities – of FDI proceedings, including identifying jurisdiction, which sectors are captured, the procedure, gathering the right information, the potential risks and how to mitigate these.
