The prosed regulation is widely understood to be targeted at Chinese acquisitions of companies in sensitive industries, including technology and infrastructure.   However, the framework set out in the draft regulation may lead to more extensive screening of acquisitions of EU companies by all non-EU buyers. Since Norway is a non-EU country, it remains an open question how Norwegian businesses will be affected.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/haavind.no\/content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/EUcurrency_web.jpg"}
