Virtual
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?

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
