VdA partner talks about the trade protectionism

Miguel Mendes Pereira, partner at the Competition & EU practice, is quoted in an article published by the daily newspaper Diário Económico regarding the additional powers of veto that the French government acquired on any business that imply the possibility of foreign competition to control French enterprises. "It's about the existence of a legal instrument that prevents cross border business and that jeopardises the free movement, namely capital free movement, in the internal market" states the partner regarding this trade protectionism.
