Summary

The European Commission issued a decision in case FS.100299 regarding EPH/TTE/EFG under Regulation 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies. The provisional deadline and suspension period under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation expired on 01.04.2026. The case concerned a concentration in the electricity and gas trading and distribution sector.

What changed

The European Commission reviewed case FS.100299 concerning EPH/TTE/EFG under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (2022/2560). The notification was submitted on 25.02.2026 and the provisional deadline expired on 01.04.2026. The case involved economic activities in electricity and gas trading and distribution (NACE D.35, D.35.15, D.35.22, D.35.23). The expiration of the provisional deadline means the suspension period has ended without a Commission decision blocking the concentration.

Parties to concentrations subject to the Foreign Subsidies Regulation should verify compliance with notification obligations and standstill requirements throughout the review period. Failure to observe FSR notification requirements can result in fines and other enforcement measures under EU competition law.

What to do next

  1. Verify that all required foreign subsidies notifications were submitted timely under Regulation 2022/2560
  2. Confirm compliance with standstill obligations throughout the review period
  3. Retain documentation of FSR compliance for potential Commission inquiries
