Een jaar privacy-toezicht verantwoord: Dit zegt het jaarverslag van de AP De AP legt in haar jaarverslag verantwoording af over 2024. Het jaar kenmerkte zich door een mix van strenge handhaving én stimulerende maatregelen om naleving te bevorderen. Wat kan uw organisatie hiervan leren? The Current Status of the AI Act: Navigating the Future of AI Regulation in the EU We discuss the current status of the AI Act since the ban on unacceptable AI systems and the AI literacy obligation, and the challenges that are arising in light of the balance between the rapid advancement of technologies and the slow pace of regulation. BNR: het faillissement van de Amsterdam Trade Bank Bij BNR’s ‘Onder Curatoren’ vertelt Job van Hooff, curator en partner in Stibbe’s Restructuring & Insolvency praktijk, over de afwikkeling van het faillissement van Amsterdam Trade Bank. Contractual clauses prohibiting the transferability or pledgeability of business claims could become void in the near future We discuss a draft bill to declare contractual clauses limiting the transferability and/or pledgeability of claims in business relations void, and call upon the Dutch Senate to reconsider at least its applicability to existing contracts. Asset intensive reinsurance agreements – new requirement to obtain DNB’s prior consent As of 1 January 2025, Dutch insurers must obtain the Dutch Central Bank’s prior consent before making any amendments to, or entering into an asset-intensive reinsurance agreement that allows the reinsurer to hold assets in a third country. Equity raises: prospectus exemptions and share issuance approvals In this note we discuss the interplay between prospectus exemptions and share issuance authorisations of listed Dutch companies. Prospectus exemptions are expanded under the EU Listing Act, but will Dutch issuers be able to take full advantage? The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive In Q2 2023, the European Parliament will vote on the much-discussed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Stibbe advises BN-TAV joint venture on construction of sustainable new A pier at Schiphol Airport Stibbe advised the joint venture of Ballast Nedam and TAV Construction (BN-TAV) in relation to the construction of the new A pier at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Stibbe advises manufacturing company on sustainable biorefinery development Stibbe advised a manufacturing company on the development of a new biorefinery plant in the Port of Rotterdam. ESG disclosure in equity prospectuses: current state of affairs In a world where ESG takes centre stage, equity prospectuses will need to include disclosure on all material ESG-related matters. Widening the net: The Dutch government proposes to broaden the scope of the Vifo Act The Vifo Act continues to evolve: Dutch government to extend the scope of the general Dutch FDI screening regime to cover six additional technologies. The Commission’s ‘killer’ pharma campaign: reason to complain? The European Commission is on the prowl in the pharma sector. Recent cases on alleged disparagement and pipeline drugs-killings show that it is not afraid to show its teeth and, ultimately, bite. Digital antitrust conduct: too elusive to catch? The ink on the Digital Market Act has barely dried, but fast-evolving digital developments already have competition authorities calling for new tools. Is Big Tech not kept in check by the DMA, the antitrust rules and the EU Merger Regulation after all? Get ready for more action! Dutch investment screening continues to evolve Dutch investment screening is rapidly expanding: since June, the proposal for a separate defence regime has been published and the intended expansion of the regime of the Vifo Act to include AI and biotech has been announced. Reason for a quick update! Court rules ACM can use accidental evidence found in dawn raids While skimming through employees’ chat conversations and e-mails, it is not uncommon for competition authorities to stumble across other potential antitrust violations, separate from the initial scope of the search.
