Belgium has recently introduced a screening mechanism for foreign direct investments (FDI). Since July 1st, 2023, transactions falling within the scope of the new mechanism have to be notified to a newly created body, the Interfederal Screening Commission (ISC), composed of representatives of the federal government and the governments of the 8 federated entities. In this seminar, Karel and Karl will focus on the practical aspects of the new notification obligations. Which transactions must be notified? What information should be provided? What are the steps in the procedure and how long will the procedure take? Are there any pitfalls to look out for?
