Syensqo Urges Stricter EU Curbs on Foreign Chemical Subsidies

18 Nov 2025
Topic — Reviewing the operational and legal effectiveness of the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation.
Message — Syensqo recommends lowering notification thresholds for acquisitions in strategic sectors like specialty chemicals. They argue the Commission should prioritize long-term market resilience over immediate benefits during investigations. Additionally, the regulator should consider multi-layered subsidies and historical intellectual property theft.123
Why — These measures would shield European producers from predatory buyouts and subsidized foreign dumping.45
Impact — Subsidized foreign competitors, particularly Chinese firms, would face greater scrutiny and potential bans.67
