The Commission received 30 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 27 from organizations. Not shown: 3 from private individuals.

Please, see below our suggestions: 1. Art. 2 (2) of the FDI Screening Regulation - we suggest to change the current definition of foreign investor so that it reflects the reality of notified foreign direct investments, i.e. the links to the third countries are not necessarily direct. On the contrary, in most cases they are indirect.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion.
