Summary

The European Commission has registered foreign subsidies case FS.100292 concerning Orange/Masorange under Regulation 2022/2560. The case involves a concentration in wired, wireless, and satellite telecommunication activities (NACE Rev. 2.1 codes K.61.1 and K.61.10). The notification was filed on 7 April 2026 with a provisional decision deadline of 13 May 2026. No decision has been issued as the case remains pending.

Why this matters

Companies involved in concentrations within the EU should assess whether their transactions fall within the scope of Regulation 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies. This case page — while no decision exists — confirms the EC is actively processing foreign subsidies notifications in the telecommunications sector. Counsel should review transaction structures for foreign state involvement, financial contributions from non-EU authorities, or subsidy-like advantages that could trigger notification obligations regardless of merger control thresholds.

What changed

The European Commission has formally registered foreign subsidies case FS.100292 under the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (2022/2560) for review of the Orange/Masorange concentration in telecommunications activities. This is a case registration record — no decision, commitment, prohibition, or clearance has been issued.

Parties to concentrations in the EU involving potential foreign subsidies should monitor the applicability of Regulation 2022/2560. Transactions meeting the notification thresholds may require foreign subsidies assessment before completion, regardless of traditional competition merger control thresholds.
