1 min read

Belgium thereby joins an ever growing list of jurisdictions introducing FDI screening mechanisms and sharpening their FDI screening tools.
Our client alert below shares a short overview of the key aspects of this new Belgian FDI screening mechanism, as well as our initial thoughts on the mechanism itself.
