Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, Teresa Ribera, said: “The first review report will be due in July 2026, three years after the Foreign Subsidies Regulation started applying. It will be an opportunity to take stock of the implementation and enforcement of the Regulation so far, and to envisage possible improvements.
With today’s public consultation and call for evidence, Member States and stakeholders can submit their views and help the Commission review its FSR practice, so that it can best address distortions caused by foreign subsidies in the internal market, while minimising the regulatory burden.”
Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, Stéphane Séjourné, said: “Public procurement accounts for roughly 15% of the EU’s gross national product. Given the scale of this figure, Europeans expect that the selection process is fair and not distorted by subsidies coming from third countries.
However, monitoring of this objective should be as unbureaucratic and transparent as possible. I invite you, as a stakeholder, to take advantage of this opportunity to submit your comments regarding the complexity of the rules, the costs incurred as a result and to share your ideas for a possible simplification.”
