Regulation 2 Power to request information relating to foreign direct investments

For the purpose of providing information to a member State or the European Commission in response to a request made under Article 7(5) of the FDI Regulation, the Competition and Markets Authority may exercise any power under section 109 of the Enterprise Act 2002^f1 which it may exercise under that section for a permitted purpose; and accordingly that section has effect as if that purpose were a “permitted purpose” within the meaning of that section.

The Enterprise Act 2002, in its application to things done under section 109 of that Act by virtue of paragraph (1) above, has effect as if sections 110A and 110B of that Act were omitted.

In this regulation “the FDI Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union^f2.
