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.

What are the steps in the procedure and how long will the procedure take? Are there any pitfalls to look out for?
