欧盟委员会附条件批准京东收购德国 Ceconomy：22亿欧元交易是首宗经《外国补贴条例》深入审查的中企收购
布鲁塞尔 — 欧盟委员会11月3日附条件批准中国电商企业京东收购德国电子零售集团 Ceconomy，交易金额约22亿欧元。Ceconomy 是欧洲消费电子零售商 MediaMarkt、Saturn 与 MediaWorld 的母公司，在欧洲拥有1000多家门店、约5万名员工。
欧盟委员会今年5月28日依据《外国补贴条例》对这宗交易启动深入调查，审查重点是京东可能获得的、与中国政府有关的优惠融资、补助和税收激励，是否会让这宗收购以及 Ceconomy 今后的欧洲业务获得不公平的竞争优势。《外国补贴条例》允许欧盟审查非欧盟国家政府的财政支持是否扭曲欧盟内部市场竞争。
为获得批准，京东与 Ceconomy 接受了为期十年的约束性承诺，并由独立受托人监督执行：京东与 Ceconomy 之间的融资安排须按正常商业条件进行；京东须向第三方零售商以与 Ceconomy 同等的条件开放其仓储物流服务与技术服务。这宗交易此前已先后通过德国、法国、意大利、西班牙与奥地利的外商投资审查，这是它所需的最后一项监管批准。两家公司预计在11月完成交割，据报道京东的目标日期是11月12日。
这是第一宗依据《外国补贴条例》接受深入审查的中国企业收购欧洲公司案件。中国欧盟商会11月4日发表声明，对欧盟委员会的批准表示欢迎，称这凸显了对话的价值。
中国商务部10月29日曾表示，如果欧盟一意孤行、对中国产品采取歧视性限制措施，中方必将采取一切必要措施维护自身合法权益。

EU Commission Conditionally Approves JD.com's €2.2 Billion Ceconomy Acquisition: First Chinese Takeover Assessed in Depth Under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation
BRUSSELS — The European Commission on November 3 conditionally approved Chinese e-commerce company JD.com's acquisition of German consumer-electronics retailer Ceconomy, in a deal worth about €2.2 billion. Ceconomy is the parent company of MediaMarkt, Saturn and MediaWorld, which operate more than 1,000 stores across Europe and employ about 50,000 people.
The Commission opened an in-depth investigation into the deal on May 28 under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), examining whether preferential financing, grants and tax incentives potentially linked to the Chinese state could give the acquisition, and Ceconomy's future European operations, an unfair competitive advantage. The FSR allows the EU to examine whether financial support from non-EU governments distorts competition in the internal market.
To secure approval, JD.com and Ceconomy accepted binding commitments in force for ten years, monitored by an independent trustee: financial arrangements between JD.com and Ceconomy must follow normal commercial conditions, and JD.com must provide its warehousing, logistics and technology services to third-party retailers on terms equivalent to those offered to Ceconomy. The deal had earlier received foreign investment approvals in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Austria, and the Commission decision was the final regulatory clearance required. Completion is expected in November, with JD.com reportedly targeting November 12.
The case is the first acquisition of a European company by a Chinese company to be assessed in depth under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. The China Chamber of Commerce to the EU welcomed the Commission's approval in a statement on November 4, saying it underscored the value of dialogue.
China's Ministry of Commerce said on October 29 that if the EU persisted in imposing discriminatory restrictions against Chinese products, China would take all necessary measures to defend its legitimate rights and interests.
