Description

Merger Control and FDI issues is the hot topic of Olivia Lê Horovitz from Paris and Falk Schöning from Berlin. The two explain to the host Martin Schirmbacher what the issue with Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) actually is and how 'national security' as the reason behind any regulation has become broader and broader. It is explained why FDI-regulation especially concerns technology deals and who the relevant authority is. We also speak about antitrust issues and whether these lead to a decrease in tech deals (spoiler: not really). There are many more questions - table 12 is going to be hot!
