Temasek International Pte Ltd is grateful for this opportunity to respond to the three policy options outlined in the Commission’s Inception Impact Assessment. We provide our views in the attached letter and are happy to respond to any questions the Commission may have.

The French Association of Large Companies (AFEP) welcomes the opportunity to answer this consultation on the Commission's roadmap. This initiative is particularly welcomed by French large companies in a context where Member States are multiplying domestic measures to restrain access to these benefits by introducing very heavy administrative processes.

AFEP, the French Association of Large Companies, welcomes the publication of the roadmap for the inception impact assessment for a possible legislative initiative to comprehensively handle foreign subsidies likely to distort general competition as well as competition in tendering procedures on the EU internal market.

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.

AFEP, the French association of large companies, welcomes the adoption of the proposal for a regulation on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. With a view to contributing to the early stage of the legislative process, AFEP shares a set of preliminary comments on the proposed regulation in the position paper in attachment.
