On 28 July 2012, the China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC") released a revised regulation on the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor ("QFII") program with the aim of making it easier for QFIIs to invest in China's capital market. The QFII program was introduced in 2002 as the primary program for foreign investors to enter China's capital market.

Dutch Competition Regulator's Call-in Power Passes "First Phase" As Lower House Adopts Bill

The Netherlands is poised to grant its competition authority unprecedented power to scrutinize mergers that fall below traditional notification thresholds, targeting potentially harmful transactions such as roll-up strategies and killer acquisitions.
