European Commission Seeks Stakeholders’ Views on Draft Foreign Subsidies Implementing Regulation

Last year, the European Union (EU) legislature adopted a far-reaching regulation aimed at tackling the distortive effects on EU markets of financial support provided by non-EU countries to undertakings active in the EU (Foreign Subsidies Regulation or FSR).

On October 28, 2022, the European Commission adopted a second amendment to its Temporary Framework for State aid measures to support the economy following Russia’s aggression against Ukraine (“TF”). The TF was set to expire on December 31, 2022. As the war in Ukraine continues to affect companies in the EU, the Commission has extended its application until December 31, 2023. In addition, the second amendment to the TF raises the ceilings for limited amounts of aid and provides for additional flexibility for liquidity support to energy utilities for their trading activities and for companies affected by rising energy costs.
