Temasek urges EU to slash foreign subsidy reporting burdens

3 Mar 2023
Topic — A consultation on procedural rules for investigating distortive foreign subsidies in the EU.
Message — Temasek requests limiting reporting to subsidies most likely to distort the internal market. They also propose narrowing the definition of notifying parties for investment fund portfolio companies.12
Why — The proposal would reduce administrative burdens and help firms avoid significant compliance challenges.34
Impact — The Commission would receive less data on financial contributions, potentially missing some market distortions.5

Response to Addressing distortions caused by foreign subsidies

20 Jul 2021

Under the EU State Aid regime, the administrative burden on notification falls on EU Member States. Under the Proposed Regulation, administrative burden of notification for concentrations falls on companies, creating new obligations that risk delaying merger and acquisition procedures and disincentivising investments in the EU. Some provisions and procedures in the Proposed Regulation raise questions about its concrete implementation, creating uncertainty in future large investment transactions and joint ventures, precisely at the time the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility is launched. Some of the definitions and procedures in the Proposed Regulation would benefit from closer alignment with the well-established EU state aid rules, practice and procedures. 1- Subsidy definition and financial contributions: capital injections and the principles of impartiality and equality To ensure that the EU State aid principles of impartiality and equality are being adhered to, the Proposed Regulation should expand the concept of conferral of benefit to financial contributions taking into account current Commission and CJEU interpretations and continuous practice. Financial contributions that do not confer a benefit should fall outside of the Proposed Regulation and should not trigger a mandatory notification requirement for concentrations. 2- Subsidy definition and conferral of benefit Article 2 of the Proposed Regulation defines the existence of foreign subsidy where a third country provides a financial contribution which confers a benefit. The subsequent paragraphs in Article 2 define the scope of a financial contribution while omitting any reference to “conferral of benefit”. Recital No 10 in the Proposed Regulation preamble provides some benchmarks on the determination of conferral of benefit. The Proposed Regulation would benefit from incorporating these benchmarks into Chapter 1 - General Provisions. “The investment practice of private investors” benchmark should make reference to circumstances that would be acceptable to a private investor operating under normal market economy conditions. 3- Capital injections in circumstances acceptable to a private investor operating under normal market economy conditions should be excluded from the subsidy definition, in line with EU State aid law and practice Commission Bulletin EC 9-1984 section 3.2. lists six circumstances where fresh capital is contributed in circumstances that would be acceptable to a private investor operating under normal market economy conditions, and hence does not constitute State aid. In line with EU State aid law and practice, prior notification of concentrations should only be required where there is a foreign subsidy thus excluding capital injections in circumstances equivalent to those in which private investors operate under normal market economy conditions. The Proposed Regulation should exempt from the mandatory notification requirement, concentrations that include only capital injections, when made under circumstances equivalent to those which private investors operate under normal market economy conditions. Notifications of concentrations that do not constitute State aid is an unnecessary burden that risks delaying concentrations with economic consequences. It also discriminates commercially oriented undertakings against the principles of equality and impartiality. Under the Proposed Regulation, the Commission retains the right to request information from the undertakings to examine whether the financial contribution involved constitutes a subsidy, or to request the prior notification of non-notifiable concentrations at any time. The thresholds for mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures should be aligned so that in all each case only the most impactful concentrations are caught. A company operating in the EU would be obliged to notify participation in a JV established in a third country even with a minority, no controlling stake.
