Global rules on foreign direct investment (FDI)
Cross-border acquisitions and investments increasingly trigger foreign direct investment (FDI) screening requirements.
The Americas Antitrust Review 2020 edition of Global Competition Review Insight is one of a series of books that also covers the Asia- Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, delivering specialist intelligence and research designed to help readers—in-house counsel, government agencies and private practitioners—successfully navigate the world’s increasingly complex competition regimes.
Global Competition Review has worked exclusively with the region’s leading competition practitioners, and it is their wealth of experience and knowledge – enabling them not only to explain law and policy, but also put it into context – that makes the report particularly valuable to anyone doing business in the Americas today.
This year, Andy Eklund, Mark Angland, and Emily Woolbank co-authored the “United States: Energy” section which advises how to best structure a joint venture to ensure its legitimacy under the antitrust laws and avoid mistakes that could lead to liability.
"United States: Energy" is an extract from GCR’s Americas Antitrust Review 2020, first published in September 2019. The whole publication is available on the GCR website.
Emily Woolbank is a law clerk in New York and worked under the direct supervision of Andy Eklund.

On February 2, 2024, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union confirmed that the Committee of Permanent Representatives had signed the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulation, referred to as the AI Act. Approval by the EU Parliament followed on 13 March 2024, and the AI Act is likely to appear in the EU’s Official Journal around May 2024. The AI Act aims to establish a stringent legal framework governing the development, marketing, and utilisation of artificial intelligence within the region, thereby marking a significant advancement in the regulation of this burgeoning domain.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
