Statement of Objections Transmission outside EU

Transmission of Statement of Objections to addressees outside EU

It often happens that undertakings having their registered offices and/or headquarters outside the EU/EEA, also have subsidiaries or branches in the territory of the EU/EEA. In such cases the SO can be notified to the undertaking concerned at the address (“c/o”) of a subsidiary in the EU/EEA representing the business activities if the registered office and/or headquarters outside the EU/EEA has agreed to it. The case-team should request such agreement, in order that the SG can duly notify it to the mandated subsidiary.

More about Statement of Objections Transmission outside EU

If an undertaking has no establishment in the EU/EEA, the letter communicating the SO must be sent directly to the registered office or headquarters located outside the EU/EEA.
