The European Commission proposed rules on Wednesday to restrain companies that benefit from foreign subsidies to buy EU businesses or take part in public tenders, with a particular eye on fending off unfair competition from China.

"The EU is the most open market in the world. But openness rhymes with fairness," the European Union executive's president, Ursula von der Leyen, said in a tweet, adding the aim of the proposed measures was to ensure a level playing field.

According to the proposals, a Commission investigation would be triggered if it identifies possible distortive foreign subsidies in takeovers of EU companies with a turnover of 500 million euros or more in the bloc or in procurement contracts from 250 million euros and above. The EU's antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager, told a news conference that the rules would apply to all sectors and were based on the idea that "Europe is open for business" but inward investments must be fair and transparent.
