Foreign Direct Investment Screening Mechanisms in Europe
Foreign Direct Investment Screening Mechanisms in Europe
Regulation 2019/452 does not mandate Member States to implement a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) control mechanism. Instead, it provides a European framework of recommendations and requirements for countries that choose to apply such mechanisms, along with standard cooperation mechanisms between the European Commission and the Member States. Therefore, the decision to approve, modify, or prohibit FDIs rests with individual Member States.
To aid in understanding, we are delighted to present our "BDO Legal Guide to Foreign Direct Investment Screening Mechanisms in Europe". This publication aims to explain the current situation regarding FDIs, define what constitutes an FDI, outline when an FDI must be submitted for authorisation, and detail the consequences of making an investment without the required authorisation in a selection of principal European countries.
