to the Seventh Annual Global Issue

An unprecedented global health crisis brought an onslaught of economic turmoil across all nations over the last two years. The world is working towards recovery and redemption from surging petroleum prices, international sanctions, supply chain issues and a geopolitical war from which shockwaves continue reverberating across Europe and Asia.

Through sound advice from thought leaders in Australia, Canada, Chile and Germany, we take a trip around the globe and read stories from the world's most influential legal minds. Our publication opens with growth strategies from two firms in Germany, Oppenhoff & Partner and Greenberg Traurig. Lawyers Stephan Müller and Dr. Carsten Bormann explain how increasingly stringent global sanctions and export-control regulations may jeopardize future mergers and acquisitions. Dr. Martin Hamer and Natalie Kopplow detail how an impending “carbon tariff” might affect imports into the EU and impact world trade.

Our feature article comes from Norton Rose Fulbright lawyers Jo Feldman, Daniel Allman and Alan de RochefortReynolds in Australia. It tackles digital data sharing across borders and how companies can sustain their digital trade worldwide through seemingly endless internet usage.

The following three editorial pieces provide an in-focus view of Canada’s business and economic health. Goodmans

W ELCOMElawyer Tyler D’Angelo sheds light on the country’s commercial leases and judiciary relief. Stikeman Elliott lawyers David Feldman and Peter Flynn warn businesses to brace for antitrust impact after amendments to the Competition Act were rushed through Parliament. Smart & Biggar lawyers Jamie-Lynn Kraft and Philip Lapin explain “official marks” of intellectual property law and how business owners in Canada can challenge them.

We close our publication with two editorial contributions from Chile. Carey lawyers Alejandra Daroch, Jaime Carey A. and Domingo Russi explain how the country’s monetary policy could help Chilean businesses battle inflation.

Lastly, Cremades & Calvo-Sotelo lawyer Javier Cremades urges companies and governments to meet the challenge of working toward a carbon-free future.

Growing Canadian Business Abroad

Canadian entrepreneurs looking to expand their businesses beyond the geographic confines of their home dominion must consider a vast range of questions to ensure they’re fit to branch out. Here’s a quick primer.

BY DIDIER CULAT

UNPRECEDENTED POSTPANDEMIC GROWTH. Supplychain disruptions. Labor shortages. Employee retention challenges. Inflation. Demands for cost-of-living wage increases. Decreased purchasing power. Rising interest rates. All of it a cascade of post-pandemic challenges facing today’s entrepreneurs.

The International Monetary Fund reports that Canada’s annual GDP growth rate was 1.9% in 2019, plummeting to –5.2% in 2020, when its economy was essentially shut down. Then came 2021 and an unprecedented frenzy of activity due to pent-up demand, spurring GDP growth of 4.6%—a boost that continued into this year, with a projected annual GDP growth of 3.9%. To put these significant variations into context, the IMF notes that between 2009 and 2019, Canada’s annual growth rate ranged from 0.7% (2015) to 3.1% (2009, 2010). The fund forecasts growth of 2.8% in 2023 and 1.7% in 2024—a return, in essence, to the pre-pandemic normal.

Although many economists would rightly say that this is only one factor among many explaining the stresses Canadian entrepreneurs face, it does illustrate the shock the Canadian economy has endured. Yet if GDP growth is back closer to its historical norm, the issues businesspeople faced before the pandemic will surely make a similar impact this time. Before COVID-19 Canada was, among other things, near full employment, looking to increase its share of foreign trade beyond the U.S. and relying ever more on temporary foreign workers to perform essential jobs.

Some solutions to what Canadian entrepreneurs will face as the country rights the economic ship can be found in the free-trade agreements that Canada has enacted with 53 countries. If entrepreneurs are to leverage the opportunities these pacts present, they need to take the time now to plan their next moves, considering some of the following issues and questions related to international business expansion.

Tax Planning

CAVEAT SANCTIONS AND EXPORT CONTROLS

COMPREHENSIVE SANCTIONS

packages and constantly changing export-control requirements to enforce national and international foreign and security policy objectives demand from companies a new, sturdier edifice of compliance efforts. At the same time, investors in mergersand-acquisitions transactions need to broaden their due diligence to include a check of the target company’s foreign-trade compliance and ensure that any risks are appropriately distributed and reflected in the purchase agreement.

In this environment, sanctions, the control of exports of critical technologies and screening of foreign investments have become key tools for governments to enforce their security interests. In this context, compliance with legal requirements poses considerable challenges for companies and has become a central component of risk assessment for M&A investors.

European companies must comply with legal requirements at various levels: export controls and sanctions at the European and national levels; American regulations with extraterritorial impact; and political efforts, both Europe-wide and national, that could prohibit adherence to certain sanctions.

The regulations are manifold: sanctions and embargoes against certain states and individuals, export and import restrictions, and licensing requirements for certain products and services, among others. Acts that violate these restrictions are null and void under civil law and, if committed negligently or intentionally, generally constitute an administrative or even a criminal offense. The risks for investors are considerable, as they face severe fines and serious economic consequences if, for example, they are denied access to markets in whole or in part. Due diligence is therefore critical.

BY STEPHAN MÜLLER AND CARSTEN BORMANN

Risk Factor Sanctions and Export Control

The sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union and Western allies are some of the most comprehensive ever levied on a single state. All the same, global geopolitical tensions had been increasing even before Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Generally speaking, risks exist for an investor if, at the time of the acquisition, there has already been a sufficiently concrete breach of duty by the target company. In a share deal scenario, this means that while the target company remains liable for its past legal violations, the acquirer obtains the shares “infected” with the liability risk. Possible liability risks of the target company that may transfer to the acquirer in a share deal include liability for fines, claims for damages and liability from breaches of contract—e.g., for terminating contracts in violation of the EU Blocking Regulation or the regulatory regime prohibiting EU businesses from complying with certain extraterritorial US sanctions targeting Iran and Cuba. At the same time, continuation of the target company’s business without adequate trade compliance also poses a significant risk.

For example, while German authorities are, within their jurisdiction, generally obliged to investigate and prosecute any violation of applicable sanctions and export-control restrictions, add a new layer of potential peril to M&A deals. A guide to expanding due diligence to ensure that malfeasance, whether or accidental, doesn’t end up the

the number of cases in which noncompliance has triggered investigations and the imposition of fines or criminal penalties has, until recently, been rather limited. However, in light of the poor enforcement of EU sanctions by national authorities and the European Commission’s pressure on member states to ensure effective prosecution of sanctions violations, the German Parliament recently enacted a first package of the Sanctions Enforcement Act ( Sanktionsdurchsetzungsgesetz ), which contains, inter alia, new investigative measures for competent authorities. The federal government expects that all these measures will, in the near future, increase the number of official investigations and prosecution of sanctions violations.

Consequences for M&A Transactions

Considering the complexity and dynamics of legal requirements, the question is therefore not merely whether companies have committed any violations at all. Instead, investors must determine whether potential breaches are substantial

and whether target companies have implemented sufficiently capable compliance mechanisms to prevent such infringements going forward.

If compliance violations come to light during due diligence, the acquirer is regularly legally obligated (often under the company’s own internal compliance regime) to ensure that the violations are remedied before assuming responsibility for the target company’s business operations. For instance, the acquirer could obligate the target to stop exporting certain products or to terminate business relationships with certain customers. If compliance systems are inadequate, improvements must be made in the near term.

In addition, provisions can be included in the purchase agreement to appropriately distribute risk. A purchase-price adjustment clause allows the acquirer to change the price at closing to reflect both liabilities from compliance violations and investments in compliance improvement.

If the purchase agreement contains a compliance guarantee, violations can be agreed to be a condition precedent and the buyer granted the right to refuse

to conclude the transaction should a violation occur. This measure can be highly effective at ensuring the target’s compliance by the time the deal concludes.

Through a comprehensive guarantee, compliance with international trade regulations can also be secured. However, sellers will routinely attempt to limit the guarantee “to the best of their knowledge and belief” in order to limit damage claims.

Finally, the parties can agree that the seller will indemnify the buyer against certain compliance violations. This is especially relevant in matters that have a significant impact on a company’s value and for which a final assessment is not possible at the time the purchase agreement is completed.

Conclusion

In light of the rapidly evolving legal framework for foreign trade, investors need to broaden the scope of their due diligence to analyze a target’s compliance measures comprehensively. M&A buyers must also ensure that potential risks are adequately identified and reflected in the purchase agreement.

Companies that trade internationally might soon face a “carbon tariff” when importing certain goods into the European Union. Why is the EU doing this— and how will it affect world trade?

BY MARTIN HAMER AND NATALIE KOPPLOW

STRIVING TO MAKE Europe

the first “climate-neutral” continent, the European Union has committed to reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and to achieve full climate neutrality by 2050. These goals are the heart of a set of policy initiatives the European Commission announced in 2019 under the framework of the European Green Deal.

Carbon Pricing in the EU

For almost two decades, carbon pricing in the form of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has been the flagship of the union’s fight against climate

to achieve climate neutrality, large parts of the world have not yet priced greenhouse gas emissions. Given the lack of a level international playing field for business carbon pricing, companies in places with higher carbon costs (such as the EU) face a competitive disadvantage.

The EU’s strict climate policies therefore bear the risk of socalled “carbon leakage”—the shift of emissions from a country with rigid climate rules to another with more permissive standards. Carbon leakage occurs if EU-based businesses move their carbonintensive production abroad to cut costs, or if countries replace EU products with cheaper, more

to buy carbon certificates to offset the imported goods’ emissions. The price for CBAM certificates would correspond to the carbon price that would have been paid had the goods been produced within the EU, mirroring the price for EU ETS allowances. Concurrent to CBAM’s phased implementation, free allowances would be phased out.

CBAM would depart from EU ETS in several respects. Most importantly, there would be neither a cap on available certificates, nor the ability to trade them. Under CBAM, if non-EU producers can show they already paid a price for the carbon emitted in the production of the imported goods, they’ll be able to fully deduct those costs. CBAM

change. EU ETS is a market-based instrument that aims to incentivize the reduction of carbon emissions where it’s most cost-effective. It sets a cap on the total amount of emissions that can be released from electricity- and heat-generation facilities, installations in certain energy-intensive industry sectors and flights within the EU.

Companies covered by EU ETS must buy sufficient emission allowances for the greenhouse gases they emit. The cost of such allowances has risen from about €8 per metric ton of emissions at the start of 2018 to almost €100 as of August 2022.

EU ETS was the world’s first major carbon market; it remains the largest. According to the European Commission, EU ETS has reduced emissions cost-effectively, noting that installations covered by the program lowered them by about 35% between 2005 and 2019, which in turn has inspired other countries and regions to develop their own emissions trading systems.

The Risk of Carbon Leakage

Notwithstanding the EU’s efforts

carbon-intensive imports.

So far, the EU has addressed the risk of carbon leakage by granting a certain number of free allowances to EU producers in sectors considered to be at a significant leakage risk. However, these allowances dampen the incentive to invest in climate-friendly production. As a result, the European Commission is striving to lower the number of free allowances for the sake of reaching the EU’s ambitious climate goals.

The Proposed EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

For these reasons, the European Commission has proposed a new instrument to equalize the price of carbon between domestic products and imports: the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which might soon replace the system of free allowances.

Under CBAM, EU importers would be required to register with a CBAM authority and regularly report the emissions embedded in their imported goods—obligations that may come into effect around January 2023. Presumably beginning in 2027, importers would then have

would therefore aim not only to help reduce the risk of carbon leakage but also encourage producers in non-EU countries to “green up” their production methods.

Possible Effects on International Trade

Whether CBAM—often called a “carbon tariff”—would be consistent with international trade rules, in particular the framework of the World Trade Organization, has been the source of a great deal of discussion. Some experts worry the EU’s introduction of CBAM would be seen as a disguised form of trade protectionism, thereby potentially irritating international partners and starting a trade war. (No countries outside the EU have implemented such a mechanism.)

EU legislators, cognizant of this potential backlash, have drafted their regulations carefully, explicitly aiming to maximize their compatibility with WTO rules. Further, the legislative process has been accompanied by diplomatic efforts both to increase acceptance among the international community and spur cooperation on carbon pricing.

THE FUTURE OF TRADE IS DIGITAL

BY JO FELDMAN, DANIEL ALLMAN AND ALAN DE ROCHEFORT-REYNOLDS

IF

TRADE IS the lifeblood of the global economy, data is its DNA. Without good information, the entire worldwide system would collapse. Data flows don’t just support e-commerce by enabling physical goods to be traded online. They also enable fully digital products and services— search engines, social media, electronic payments and much else.

The growth in cross-border data flows is mind-boggling. This year, global internet traffic will reach some 150,000 gigabytes per second. That’s up from about 150 gigabytes per second in 2002, and just 100 gigabytes per day in 1992. Digital trade, too, has been growing faster than trade in physical goods since well before the pandemic.

Trade Rules Are Lagging

As digital transformation races ahead, though, international trade rules are falling behind. The

World Trade Organization (WTO), for example, has no multilateral agreement on digital trade. Australia, Japan and Singapore are leading the effort to introduce new WTO rules, and the process is picking up speed after a period of fits and starts. A final agreement, though, is still some way off. Countries can find common ground when it comes to electronic signatures and paperless trading, but on issues such as electronic-transaction frameworks, the proposed text has been reduced to language and not binding commitments. Consensus is even harder to reach on the more contentious points.

None of this comes as a surprise. At a time when data is upending the way businesses and societies interact, data governance is emerging as a geopolitical flashpoint. Tensions play out in regional trade groups and even smaller bilateral accords.

Recent Indo-Pacific Developments

For Australian businesses operating in the Indo-Pacific region, three recent developments bring the relevant geopolitics to the surface.

First, in December 2021, Australia signed a so-called CLOUD Act Agreement with the United States. (The acronym stands for Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data.) This will help American and Australian law-enforcement agencies, when investigating serious crimes, to access data held by service providers operating in the other’s jurisdiction.

In Australia, the agreement was referred back to Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Treaties this August. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, CLOUD Act Agreements make it less likely that countries will force businesses to store and process data locally. Some nations require data localization because, they say, it aids law enforcement and regulatory oversight. By facilitating government-to-government cooperation, the U.S.-Australia agreement addresses the concern that foreign data may be withheld for one reason or another.

Resisting data localization is consistent with the original TransPacific Partnership (TPP), which included the United States. Although President Donald Trump withdrew from the original TPP on his first day in office in 2017, Australia is a party to its successor agreement, and the relevant rules remain unchanged: Countries must allow cross-border data transfers and must not introduce data localization measures unless they’re required to achieve a “legitimate public policy objective.”

Second, in January 2022, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) came into force. RCEP is a trade pact among Australia and 14 other Indo-Pacific countries, including China but not the U.S. It reveals China’s hand on some thorny digital-trade issues. This was followed this May by substantive moves toward negotiating the IndoPacific Economic Framework (IPEF), which is spearheaded by the United States and does not include China. One key priority of IPEF is to develop regional standards for cross-border data flows.

The two groupings highlight the divided approaches to issues of data movement among Australia’s main partners. Under the auspices of IPEF, the U.S. is encouraging “high-standard rules of the road

in the digital economy” to reduce data localization. As part of RCEP, China agreed to allow cross-border transfers and not to introduce localization measures—but those are subject to a public-policy exception that is entirely self-adjudicated. In other words, it’s up to the country introducing a restrictive measure to decide whether its restriction is necessary. RCEP dilutes these standards further by exempting measures that a country considers necessary to protect its “essential security interests” and by carving out all electronic commerce rules from state-to-state dispute settlement.

Third, there are signs that some countries’ views on data localization may be shifting. Indonesia—traditionally a strong advocate for data localization— passed Government Regulation 71 of 2019 in the face of opposition from Indonesian data companies. Regulation 71 allows private electronic systems operators to process and store data outside of Indonesia. With 204 million internet users, 370 million mobile phone connections and half its population under 30, this is a major step forward for tech businesses in the Indo-Pacific.

India’s support of data localization shows signs of receding as the number of Indian internet users—now nearly 650 million—is exploding. This August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government withdrew its longpromised Personal Data Protection Bill after receiving feedback from a joint parliamentary committee. The bill would have required companies to store several kinds of data within India. While the committee’s report did not call for fully free data flows, it recommended narrowing the circumstances in which data must be stored domestically. The government is likely to introduce a revised bill late this year; however, ministers are already calling for it to include “global standard cyber laws.”

These are positive developments. Indonesia is a signatory to RCEP, and India is a founding member of IPEF. Their shifting views on cross-border transfers should encourage greater data liberalization across the region.

What Next?

Exporters, including those in Australia’s burgeoning tech sector, need strong and consistent digitaltrade rules governing the IndoPacific region. Sometimes a push for data localization is benign. Prosecuting serious crime, for

instance, and protecting government data or individual privacy are valid policy concerns. But these can be addressed in targeted ways, as the CLOUD Act Agreement shows. Likewise, concerns about consumer protections and privacy can be tackled with existing legal tools and customer disclosures. This is a key lesson from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s recent string of actions in domestic courts against Google. Too often, calls for data localization are either simply misguided or, more malevolently, motivated by protectionism, censorship and control. In practice, whether wellintentioned or not, localization makes data-driven trade more costly and less secure.

A truly multilateral solution to cross-border data flows has clear advantages. But while exporters wait for the WTO to act, regional agreements and groupings can be a useful starting point. The IPEF in particular promises major strides toward data liberalization in the Indo-Pacific. Like-minded countries should continue working together to facilitate digital trade. Such efforts will find support in Washington, where a bipartisan group of senators called recently called on the White House to prioritize this. In their words, which should apply equally in other world capitals, including Canberra, “ongoing debate over domestic rules for the digital economy should not hold us back from substantive engagement with our allies.”

“This year, global internet traffic will reach some 150,000 gigabytes per second. That’s up from about 150 gigabytes per second in 2002, and just 100 gigabytes per day in 1992.”

AHANDFUL OF principles are foundational to valuing commercial real estate. The bestknown, of course, is “location, location, location.” For many properties, however, “foot traffic = revenue” is equally important.

Restaurants, retail spaces, offices and hotels all generally thrive on the continual congregation of people in desirable spaces. If tables or rooms do not turn over, or revolving doors cease revolving, revenue generation becomes much more difficult.

These concepts are not academic. They’re critical, for example, in determining rent. In many real estate subclasses, a site’s location and foot traffic will inform the revenue a tenant expects to generate, which in turn informs the rent it can pay— which in turn informs (or perhaps confirms) the rent a landlord expects to receive. That rent ultimately plays a key role in determining what a lender will lend and what a buyer will pay: in other words, the site’s value. A common commercial real estate structure sports a robust foundation of tenants fueled by foot traffic, with floors of freehold and mortgage capital built atop triple net leases.

But black swans ignore economic principles. When the COVID-19 pandemic landed in Canada

Rental House of Cards

THE PANDEMIC DEVASTATED UNCOUNTABLE BUSINESSES WORLDWIDE. A RECENT COURT CASE INVOLVING SOME OF CANADA’S MOST VENERABLE COMPANIES AND PENSION FUNDS SHEDS LIGHT ON THE STRINGENCY OF THE COUNTRY’S COMMERCIAL LEASES—AND THE JUDICIARY’S RELUCTANCE TO MEDDLE IN SOPHISTICATED COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS AMID A “BLACK SWAN” EVENT.

BY TYLER D’ANGELO

in March 2020, governments reacted as elsewhere: Venues that encouraged social gatherings were largely shuttered, and those that remained open faced strict capacity limits. From a commercial real estate perspective, people staying at home en masse neuters both location and foot traffic, and fundamentally limits the ability of many tenants to generate enough revenue to pay rent—as well as the ability of landlords to service their mortgages. The structure faced a serious threat of becoming a house of cards (and perhaps would have but for unprecedented wage and rent support from governments).

It was not long before lawsuits around the world sought to answer a fundamental leasing question: In a triple net lease, with the tenant responsible for paying base rent and its share of the landlord’s operating costs without regard to any claim, setoff or deduction, who bears the risk of a black swan that shuts doors and prohibits foot traffic?

In Canada, Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), the oldest corporation in the country and a major retailer, withheld rent under a number of its leases beginning in April 2020. In the case at hand (pertaining to Hillcrest Mall outside Toronto, where HBC is the anchor tenant), HBC ultimately brought its landlord, an affiliate of

Oxford Properties Group (itself a pension fund landlord), to court in October 2020, alleging Oxford had defaulted under the lease. One day later, Oxford formally commenced proceedings to terminate the lease, forcing HBC to also seek “relief from forfeiture”—a judicial “shield,” not unlike bankruptcy laws, granting a tenant breathing room to cure a default and permitting continued possession of a premises pending a cure.

The main issue before the court was interpretation of Section 20 of Ontario’s Commercial Tenancies Act (CTA) codifying a tenant’s right to obtain relief from forfeiture:

Where a lessor is proceeding by action or otherwise to enforce a right of reentry or forfeiture . . . the lessee may . . . apply to the court for relief, and the court may grant such relief as, having regard to the proceeding and conduct of the parties under Section 19 and to all the other circumstances, the court thinks fit, and on such terms as to payment of rent, costs, expenses, damages, compensation, penalty or otherwise, including the granting of an injunction to restrain any like breach in the future as the court considers just. (Emphasis added.)

At trial, citing the broad language

in Section 20 of the CTA, HBC argued the court not only had jurisdiction to stay an eviction notice, but in light of an unprecedented event, also had jurisdiction to grant rent abatement/forgiveness. HBC had, up to that point, been a model tenant: The trial court found HBC had been a tenant at Hillcrest Mall since 1978, had paid its rent on time for 42 straight years and suffered an average decline in sales at Hillcrest Mall of 69% compared to before the pandemic.

The trial court granted HBC relief from forfeiture. Critically, it also ordered rent deferrals (rather than forgiveness). The court imposed a phased rent repayment schedule whereby HBC was to pay partial rent until November 2021 and pay all arrears in March 2022 at an interest rate of prime plus 2%. None of this was provided for in HBC’s lease— and, in fact, the lease stipulated interest on arrears at prime plus 4%.

Both parties appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. HBC argued the trial court did not go far enough, and once again sought rent forgiveness, arguing Section 20 allows courts to “override the terms of a lease if justice so requires”— particularly when a “model tenant” is suffering the blunt effects of a pandemic. Oxford, for its part, argued the trial court went too far— that despite equitable language like “fit” and “just,” Section 20 does not

include a right to grant rent deferrals (let alone rent forgiveness), nor any right to “rewrite the commercial bargain made by the parties to take into account unforeseen events.”

In a unanimous decision released this August 15, the Court of Appeal found in favor of Oxford. Relief from forfeiture, the court said, is a “specific and narrow” remedy that allows the tenant breathing room to put the lease in good standing. It “does not contemplate a recalibration of existing rights and obligations under the lease . . . to reflect what the court sees as a fair arrangement in light of unforeseen developments.” The court continued: To order that a tenant is not required to pay the agreedupon rent is not to grant relief from forfeiture of the lease

“THE TRIAL COURT FOUND HBC HAD BEEN A TENANT AT HILLCREST MALL SINCE 1978, HAD PAID ITS RENT ON TIME FOR 42 STRAIGHT YEARS AND SUFFERED AN AVERAGE DECLINE IN SALES AT HILLCREST MALL OF 69% COMPARED TO BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.”

Competitive Balance

Major amendments to Canada’s Competition Act were rushed through Parliament this June with scarcely any debate. They will likely have enormous antitrust ramifications—and businesses had better be ready.

BY DAVID FELDMAN AND PETER FLYNN

THE GOVERNMENT OF

Canada has now passed significant amendments to the Competition Act via its Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1 (BIA), which received Royal Assent this June 23. The inclusion of these changes in the BIA—a budget bill—ensured that there was no opportunity for meaningful debate on their merits, and indeed there was not even a prospect of making modest revisions to the proposed language, which was passed exactly as it was introduced. Although the private sector had no ability to shape or influence these changes, it must now adapt to them.

Remarkably, this is the second time in a row that the Competition Act—a core piece of economic legislation in Canada—has been substantially amended via a budget bill. This mirrors the experience of 2009, when the then-Conservative government adopted the same approach, which at the time generated considerable criticism from many quarters—including the then-Liberal opposition, which, now governing, has done the very same thing.

creation in 1986. The Competition Bureau itself has, until now, always served an important “gatekeeper” function as the only party that had standing to bring such cases. The bureau, notwithstanding its tremendous expertise in such matters, its extensive informationgathering power and its considerable resources, has always been extremely judicious in bringing these cases, with the result that most Canadian businesses would generally not have viewed an abuse-of-dominance proceeding as a likely occurrence. This was in part because in many instances, following a detailed investigation and a discussion with the firm or firms in question, the Competition Bureau exercised its expert judgment not to commence litigation. This situation has been fundamentally disrupted

disincentives for engaging in such conduct.

• The explicit addition of “drip pricing,” where an initial price is advertised but additional non-optional fees are included in the final price, making that initial price unobtainable, to the definition of misleading advertising.

• The introduction of an antiavoidance provision intended to ensure that the parties to a merger transaction cannot deliberately structure a transaction to avoid prenotification obligations.

The Next Round

It is widely understood that the government has in mind further significant amendments to the Competition Act. The Commissioner of Competition has been calling

Abuse of Dominance Amendments

In our view, the changes most likely to have a meaningful impact on large businesses in Canada are the amendments to the abuse-ofdominance provision.

In short, it is now possible for private litigants, with the permission of the Competition Tribunal, to commence litigation against larger companies alleging that they are dominant and engaged in substantial anticompetitive conduct. In so doing, these private litigants will be able to seek financial penalties—payable to the government—of up to triple the amount of the benefit gained by the dominant firm, or, where that amount cannot be determined, 3% of that company’s global revenue. It is entirely plausible that in certain circumstances, these penalties may amount to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. It is of course less clear at the moment how inclined the Competition Tribunal will be to issue such penalties.

This all stands in marked contrast to how the law of abuse of dominance has operated in Canada since it was last amended 13 years ago—and indeed since its

by the Competition Act amendments, and we would expect in the coming years (or even months) to see private litigants bring or threaten to bring abuseof-dominance cases, incentivized by the leverage the new penalties may give them in settlement discussions.

Other Changes

In addition to the changes to the abuse-of-dominance provisions described above, the 2022 amendments also include the following significant changes:

• The criminalization of wagefixing and no-poach agreements. Effective next year, employers in Canada will have to exercise extreme care that they are not engaged in any agreements or arrangements with one another that could be said to fix or control salaries, wages or other terms of employment, or to solicit or hire one another’s employees.

• Increased, and potentially unlimited, monetary penalties for criminal cartel offenses, such as price-fixing, also effective a year from now. The practical effect of this delay is likely to be minimal, as cartel offenses are already subject to large fines, imprisonment and classaction liability—considerable

for an overhaul of the act—much, but not all, of which will have been accomplished via the BIA amendments. The most notable major area only minimally affected by the BIA is that of mergers, including the efficiencies defense, which we would expect to be an area of heavy focus in any subsequent amendments.

It is also understood that the government will engage in some form of consultation before proceeding with further changes. The nature of such consultation— and the willingness of the government to allow its proposals to be influenced by the Canadian competition bar and the private sector more broadly—remains to be seen, however. In our view, especially following successive rounds of forcing through changes in budget bills, it is imperative that Canada get these next changes right, and that can be done only through in-depth engagement with stakeholders outside the federal government, who can bring their informed and diverse perspectives to bear.

OFFICIAL MARKS” are a unique feature of Canadian trademark law. Many trademark owners, even in Canada, are unaware of their existence. Those who know about them are often unclear about the rights provided and the options available for dealing with citations of (or complaints based on) official marks.

These marks can be a source of great frustration for business owners and others when cited by the Canadian Trademarks Office against an application to register a trademark. However, applicants have several options available to overcome the citation of an official mark.

Recent amendments to the Trademarks Act (which are not yet in force but could optimistically come into effect in late 2023) have codified one of the options that is currently only a matter of Trademarks Office practice and introduced a new mechanism to obtain a remedy currently available only through Canada’s Federal Court.

Background

Although official marks bear some resemblance to standard trademarks, they differ in several significant respects. Most notably,

BY JAMIE-LYNN KRAFT AND PHILIP LAPIN

an official mark can prevent others from using or registering an identical mark or any other mark that would be “mistaken for” the official one. The parties’ goods, services and overall businesses are irrelevant and ignored in the assessment of the “mistaken for” test. (The “confusion” test relevant for comparing trademarks does not apply in the case of official marks.)

Official marks represent a surprisingly significant form of intellectual-property protection that never expires, is not subject to non-use cancellation and does not undergo substantive examination. Protection for an official mark may be granted even if the mark is, for example, clearly descriptive, deceptive, a surname, a common place name or easily confused with prior registered trademarks.

“Official marks” are described under paragraph 9(1)(n)(iii) of the Trademarks Act, which reads as follows:

9(1) No person shall adopt in connection with a business, as a trademark or otherwise, any mark consisting of, or so nearly resembling as to be likely to be mistaken for, (n) any badge, crest, emblem or mark (iii) adopted and used by any public authority, in Canada as an official mark

for goods or services, in respect of which the Registrar has, at the request of . . . [the] public authority . . . given public notice of its adoption and use.

Under this provision, only Canadian “public authorities” (as further described below) can obtain protection for official marks. To be enforceable, the mark must have been “adopted and used” by the public authority. The term “adopted and used” in this context has been held simply to mean that the mark was publicly displayed.

Before granting an official mark, the Trademarks Office requires evidence demonstrating that the mark has been publicly displayed and that it has public authority status. On the latter point, the office will apply a two-part test to determine if an entity (described below as a “body”) qualifies as a public authority:

1. a significant degree of control must be exercised by the appropriate government over the activities of the body; and

2. the activities of the body must benefit the public.

The clearest examples of public authorities are Canadian governments themselves: the federal government and those of the provinces and municipalities.

“

“Official marks” are a strangely obscure corner of Canadian intellectual-property law. What are they, what explains their strength and what can a business owner in search of a trademark do to challenge them?

It’s Official:

However, the Trademarks Office has also determined that many nongovernmental entities are also public authorities, such as provincial lottery corporations, research companies and organizations including (among others) certain sporting organizations, dairy associations and museums.

Current Options to Challenge an Official Mark

When assessing a citation of an official mark raised by the Trademarks Office as it reviews a trademark application, the first consideration is whether the mark at issue would be “mistaken for” the official mark. In most cases, a putative trademark must be nearly identical to an official mark for its registration to be denied.

can consider two other options. First, the Trademarks Office will withdraw an objection if an applicant provides evidence sufficient for the Registrar to determine that the public authority no longer exists. Second, a party can challenge the validity of an official mark by bringing a proceeding in the Federal Court of Canada for judicial review of the Registrar’s decision to give public notice of the official mark (or seeking a declaration that the official mark is invalid).

To date, the Federal Court has considered only two grounds of invalidity: that the owner is not a “public authority” in Canada, and that the official mark was not “adopted and used” prior to the Trademarks Office granting official mark status.

public notice that subparagraph (1)(n)(iii) does not apply to the badge, crest, emblem or mark.

When in force, these provisions will ideally create a simple, efficient mechanism to allow the Trademarks Office to declare that an official mark is no longer valid or enforceable. However, as noted above, such a declaration will be available only in limited circumstances—namely, in cases in which the owner of the official mark is not a public authority or no longer exists.

There is currently no simple mechanism to have an official mark declared invalid by reason of the owner not qualifying as a public authority. The only method available at the moment is to file an application for a declaration or judicial review with the Federal Court. However, once subsections 9(3) and 9(4) are in force (optimistically in late 2023), it will be possible to invalidate an official mark by filing a request with the Trademarks Office and paying the prescribed fee.

Accordingly, if the marks at issue are not nearly identical, it may be worth attempting to overcome the objection through argument. If arguments fail, other options are available.

In cases in which an official mark is cited by the Trademarks Office, often the most straightforward remedy is to obtain consent of the official mark’s owner. Relatively often, public authorities are prepared to give their consent—sometimes subject to certain conditions—particularly when the official mark is an ordinary word found in the dictionary and the goods and services listed in the application are unrelated to the public authority’s activities.

Where a letter of consent is unavailable, those facing an objection based on an official mark

Recent Amendments to the Trademarks Act

The act has been amended to add the following subsections (which are not yet in force as of press time, but could optimistically come into effect in late 2023):

9(3) For greater certainty, and despite any public notice of adoption and use given by the Registrar under paragraph (1)(n), subparagraph (1)(n)(iii) does not apply with respect to a badge, crest, emblem or mark if the entity that made the request for the public notice is not a public authority or no longer exists.

(4) In the circumstances set out in subsection 9(3), the Registrar may, on his or her own initiative or at the request of a person who pays a prescribed fee, give

The Trademarks Office has published a draft Practice Notice regarding its proposed implementation of subsection 9(4). According to the draft, the request (which should be accompanied by evidence) will be reviewed and, if the office is satisfied, it will send a notice to the holder of the official mark regarding evidence of the holder’s status as a public authority. If the notice goes unanswered during the prescribed time, or if the evidence is insufficient to meet the relevant test, then the status of the official mark will be amended to read “inactivated.” The ability to challenge an official mark through an administrative mechanism before the Trademarks Office will undoubtedly be welcomed by many brand owners. •

Latinflation

ONE OF THE most important macroeconomic factors worldwide, inflation is constantly under the microscope: analyzed and discussed by economists, politicians and business leaders. In the last few months, however, rates of inflation around the globe have drawn more attention than usual due to the alarming increases many countries have experienced. A number of events have triggered these jumps, one of the most important of which is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Latin America has not been spared. A recent report from the United Nations, “Repercussions in Latin America and the Caribbean of the Russo-Ukrainian War: How to Face This New Crisis?”, predicts that regional inflation in Latin America will increase from 6.6% in 2018 to 8.1% in 2022.

The Chilean economy in particular has been affected by both global factors and internal events—including, significantly, the uncertainty of the results of its constitutional process, which may conclude with the approval of a new Magna Carta to be voted in a mandatory plebiscite on September 4, 2022. In early August, the National Statistics Institute of Chile reported

that the consumer price index (CPI) had increased 8.5% thus far in 2022 and 13.1% over the previous 12 months—the highest increase since 1994.

As annual inflation in Chile continues to rise—due primarily to food and energy prices—use of the inflation index Unidad de Fomento (UF) in a variety of transaction types has become extremely important, unlike previous years in which the UF, due to low inflation, typically had a nonmaterial (or at least less relevant) effect on the economy.

The UF, created in 1967, is determined monthly based on the variation of the CPI during the previous month. It is published daily, in its readjusted value, by the Chilean Central Bank. It generally reflects the prices of domestic goods and services, such as health care, education and real estate. Likewise, it’s used in Chile for almost all mortgage loans, car loans, lease rents and insurance premiums. Conversely, it is not common to see salaries in Chile indexed to the UF. As a result, when the rate of inflation is high (as it is now), the purchasing power of workers is weakened.

In mergers-and-acquisitions transactions, although it’s not

the general rule, it’s common to see parties agreeing to establish purchase prices according to UF. Doing M&A deals in UF is intended to account for the risk that the prospective seller may face when the agreement includes a deferred closing of the transaction—in which case inflation may vary substantially between the deal’s execution and closing.

Such a variation could of course have a significant impact on the purchase price. For example, in a recent local asset transaction whose price was agreed to by the parties in UF and the closing occurred three months later, the value of the UF increased and the purchase price increased accordingly by about $20 million in that timeframe.

Other operations in which UF has become increasingly relevant are local credit agreements and investment instruments. Chilean banks usually resort to UF loans to ensure that the value of the money loaned will be maintained during the term of the loan or credit agreement. Market participants typically prefer UF-indexed or -denominated investment tools as well. It’s important to note that when inflation rates are high, the

Long a beacon of economic stability in South America, Chile has been buffeted lately by the global rise in inflation. Can a key element of its monetary policy help it weather the storm?

BY ALEJANDRA DAROCH, JAIME CAREY ASTABURUAGA AND DOMINGO RUSSI

use of UF in credit agreements and investment instruments will result in an increase of the financial cost.

It’s worth considering that the application of the UF to a specific transaction does not depend only on the voluntary agreement of the parties thereof—it’s already included in several Chilean statutes that relate to corporate matters and foreign investments in Chile, such as the Corporations Law and the Funds Law. The former provides that the subscription price of company shares must be readjusted by UF if there’s a deferred payment of the subscription price—and that shareholders who exercise their withdrawal rights from closed corporations must receive the book value of the UF-readjusted shares.

The Funds Law, in turn, establishes that dividends not paid in a timely manner to the partners of the relevant fund must also be adjusted by the UF variance. Accordingly, foreign and domestic investors who seek to invest in Chilean corporations and funds should give special consideration to these statutes, as they directly affect the value of their investments.

In Chile, the use of UF across a variety of transactions will likely continue, as inflation is expected to continue to rise, at least in the short term. Given this, anyone involved must carefully assess whether to enter transactions in UF, especially in times of high inflation. Regardless, Chilean institutions have demonstrated a serious and professional sense of purpose in adopting measures to contend with such economic complexities—the Central Bank has adopted healthy measures such as increasing the monetary policy rate, and we expect that such acts will continue to be adopted with sound technical motives.

Navigating Rough Waters

BY SERGIO DÍEZ AND ROBERTO OVALLE

CHILE IS ENDURING turbulent times. There’s uncertainty surrounding our constitution; whatever the result of the “approve or reject” referendum on a new draft of the country’s foundational document in September, the vote foreshadows an equally uncertain future. Broadly speaking, depending on the plebiscite, three outcomes are possible: the new draft constitution may have been ratified, a different version ultimately will be or the current constitution will be reformed by the legislature.

Likewise, uncertainty regarding government institutions, the sanctity of private property and public economic order seems sufficient to discourage foreign investment for the time being, as well as sounding a note of caution for current foreign investors. This would all be extremely alarming if not for the protection framework that shields foreign investors in Chile.

Beneath the murk currently muddying our politics, after all, is a solid economic foundation. For more than two decades, Chile has built the most powerful network of trade agreements on earth, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development— some 31 free-trade agreements in all, as well as 33 Investment Protection and Promotion Treaties currently in force.

Chile is, and will remain, a country respectful of international law. Any adjustment to existing bilateral treaties concerning free trade, investment protection and taxation will be made solely through diplomatic negotiations, from a standpoint of mutual trust, with our partners around the world.

In addition to the Investment

Chile’s entrenched status as an economy open to the world remains intact despite the structural changes that likely lie ahead. Indeed, both the founding document of the October 2020 vote for a new draft constitution—78% of Chileans were in favor—and the draft itself, the subject of the September vote, signal respect for the treaties to which the country is a part. This is fully consistent with international law, which prohibits invoking domestic law to breach international treaties.

Protection and Promotion Treaties mentioned above, Chile has 11 investment chapters (regulations that establish Investment Protection clauses) included in its network of free trade agreements; these safeguard investors’ property rights. The treaties typically include clauses that establish a negotiation mechanism between the parties should a dispute arise between an investor and the state. Should they fail to resolve the matter, such mechanisms also generally allow for recourse to the International

Chile has a solid foundation to welcome and protect foreign investment even in turbulent times. Its strong network of international treaties helps provide stability beyond the political contingency.

Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes or to another body selected by mutual agreement.

As for taxes, Chile has a network of 33 bilateral treaties in place to ensure the absence of double taxation. Although they do not guarantee invariability of the tax burden, they enshrine the principle of nondiscrimination—the idea that

of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for TransPacific Partnership—a free-trade agreement among Canada and 10 other Asia-Pacific nations—will transform Chile into a country even more integrated with that thriving region, creating new opportunities for investment in the Southern Hemisphere.

Chile will offer foreign partners the same tax guarantees as it does domestic investors. In fact, some of the international investment agreements signed by Chile (mainly in the form of free-trade pacts) allow for compensation in cases of expropriation, when taxes may have an effect equivalent to an act of expropriation. Finally, in most of the double-taxation treaties to which Chile is a party, residents of the other signatory nation cannot be subject to tax obligations in Chile that are more burdensome than those of their home country.

Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the September referendum and broader changes in Chilean society going forward, the country’s trading partners can be confident that foreign investment will remain protected; proof of that lies in the fact that foreign investment has not declined since the process of structural changes began. Our firm has witnessed this firsthand; more than 70% of our clients are foreign companies operating here.

The country’s network of international treaties also gives it privileged access to more than 65 national economies representing almost 90% of global GDP, making foreign trade equivalent to roughly 58% of Chilean GDP, which makes Chile totally dependent on free trade with the world. Moreover, considering that 95% of Chile’s foreign trade moves through a sea that looks toward the AsiaPacific, Chile’s eventual ratification

International treaties provide security and continuity, acting as a sort of seal of stability for all who invest here. Chile understands that foreign investment is of supreme importance to its prosperity, and as such it follows international rules to the letter. Our embrace of the global economy, made possible by the treaties we sign, enables us to navigate safely through today’s troubled waters.•

“The country’s network of international treaties also gives it privileged access to more than 65 national economies representing almost 90% of global GDP.”

The Antipodean Advantage

As the pandemic recedes, Australia remains one of the best countries in which to invest. The commercial law experts at Piper Alderman review the country’s advantages when it comes to outside money looking for outsized returns.

outlined clearly in the federal constitution. Contract regulation, supervision of financial-service institutions and tax compliance both support businesses and safeguard consumers—laws that align with global trends in business legislation.

A variety of commissions and boards regulate various aspects of commercial activity. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), for example, supervises compliance with competition, fair-trading and consumer laws. The Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approves and reviews certain classes of outside investments, while the Reserve Bank of Australia oversees/regulates companies offering digital/online payment system services.

T HE PANDEMIC plunged the world into economic crisis—yet more than two years later, Australia has regained its luster as one of the world’s top places to do business. The country’s resilient financial system, paired with sound policies, sensible regulations and a highly educated workforce, offer investors a promising environment in which to gain returns.

The 2022 edition of Piper Alderman’s Doing Business in Australia guide highlights the country’s boundless opportunities, which stem in part from its excellent legal framework and strategic location. Proximity to the AsiaPacific region, and steady relations with China, Japan, the United States, Singapore and the United Kingdom, further boost Australia’s business bona fides as well.

The country is a major exporter of gold, iron ore, coal, natural gas and beef; its massive resources efficiently support the production and processing of basic commodities. Energy and petroleum development is a key government strategy as it aims to meet local energy needs yet also benefit from exports. (Major imports include cars, refined petroleum, telecom equipment, freight services and computers.) Mining regulations vary by territory; Australia is investing in renewable energy to hit its greenhouse-gas reduction targets.

Australia’s extensive road and rail network, air and maritime transport, are economically vital, supporting (among much else) tourism, a booming sector responsible for

about 3% of GDP. After a pandemicinduced dip, international tourists are now returning to enjoy the country’s natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle and friendly atmosphere. Australia’s highly stable parliamentary democracy offers a political environment conducive to business; state and local governments are mostly left alone to manage their own affairs.

Importantly, the efficient, transparent financial sector is a business catalyst as well. Modern infrastructure and thoughtful regulations make Australia the center for capital markets activity in the Asia-Pacific region. To boost foreign investment, successive governments have replaced protectionist policies with freetrade agreements.

Fintech companies play an increasingly big role as well, their operations streamlined by government collaboration with investors, regulators and educational institutions. Pro-business incentives have revolutionized the financial sector, and authorities are working hard to address regulatory gaps.

Australian law provides for alternative approaches to resolving disagreements outside the courts, a comprehensive dispute-resolution system—seen in (among other legislation) the Cross-Border Insolvency Act (2008), which harmonized and eased the management of business insolvency and bankruptcy.

Regulation to promulgate competition and fair dealing is

As our Doing Business guide shows, Australia promotes foreign investment. An open economy makes accommodating foreign investors easy, generating wealth and expanding growth opportunities across the economy. The Australian Trade Commission (ATC) helps international companies establish operations here, giving investors information about the business environment (including opportunities in different sectors) and helping them identify suitable locations and potential partners. It also offers guidance on industry-development programs and government approvals.

All this makes foreign investment easy and acquisitions seamless.

The Australian government has built strong legislative instruments, foreign policies and nationalsecurity measures to safeguard the country from unscrupulous and outright illegal businesses; legal and policy frameworks clearly outline noncompliance penalties to guide outside investors.

The law permits a variety of corporate structures; selecting one depends on factors like the relationship between partners, the nature of the business and the significance and degree of risks and liabilities. When forming a company, investors must also consider the regulatory and tax requirements of business transactions. Common structures here include sole trader, proprietary company, public company, registered foreign company, joint venture, trust and partnership. All have diverse limitations and regulatory requirements on ownership, management and taxation, among other issues. Businesses that require

land or property to operate can acquire it through leasehold or freehold transactions overseen by FIRB when a foreign entity is involved.

Employment law is of course a crucial factor. Investors must understand that Australian law protects workers, requiring (among other things) that employers must pay pension funds for workers. They should also obtain workers’ compensation insurance to provide benefits to injured employees.

Other key employment matters include providing working parents with up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave; they are also entitled to up to two years of unpaid parental leave. Workers have legal means to challenge what they regard as unfair termination as well.

Australian immigration laws promote diversity. Reforms have been introduced at the federal level to encourage business migration, making it easier for investors to enter the country. Incentives in this area include the Business Talent Visa and Investor Visa, both designed specifically for business immigrants.

As a hub of innovation, Australia leads the way on protecting intellectual property such as artistic works, software, trademarks and designs, particularly through the Copyright Act (1968) and Designs Act (2003). Innovative, creative people thrive in such conditions.

Incentives for the digital economy abound as well. E-commerce has grown in tandem with increased connectivity: With more than 22 million internet users in Australia (85% of the population), investing in the digital economy provides immense potential benefits. The government takes privacy and security in this realm extremely seriously as well, with laws to curb money laundering, online fraud and more.

The country’s Criminal Code Act (1995) deals with corruption and bribery, discouraging companies and investors from using underhanded methods in their everyday dealings. Corruption commissions are in place to investigate any potentially problematic behavior by organizations or officials.

Regarding another vitally important economic sector, the Therapeutic Goods Act (1989) regulates businesses dealing with medicines, medical equipment, vaccines, sunscreens and cosmetics. Local laws ensure that companies involved with these products

maintain the strongest ethical standards—and enjoy substantial legal protection as a result.

In all, Australia has become a leading investment destination—a Pacific oasis of innovation and entrepreneurship governed by smart regulations that streamline and support business investments of all kinds. Commercial law experts like those at Piper Alderman can help individuals and corporations navigate these regulations and maximize the opportunities, so abundant in Australia, for successful investment.

Hobbling the War Machine

Since late spring, the Canadian government has been actively sanctioning business and political entities, as well as numerous individuals, with alleged ties to Vladimir Putin and the Russian military, including some in Belarus. You can’t tell the players without a scorecard—so here’s an overview.

SHAWN C.D.

ON JUNE 27, Canada imposed new sanctions on Russia intended to prohibit the export of certain advanced technologies and goods that could be used in the production and manufacturing of weapons by Vladimir Putin’s regime. The categories of goods and technologies that fall under the sanctions are extensive:

• quantum computing materials;

• cryogenic refrigeration systems;

• ultra-high vacuum equipment;

• high quantum efficiency photodetectors;

• additive manufacturing equipment for certain uses or processes;

• metal powders for additive manufacturing;

• certain microscopes and detectors;

• decapsulation equipment for semiconductor devices;

• software related to the above items

• software for digital twins of additive manufactured products or the determination of the reliability of additive manufactured products (digital twin technology can be used for testing and process monitoring of additive manufacturing); and

• technology related to the above items.

The sanctions also covered six senior Russian defense officials and 46 Russian defense entities.

Designations of Russian Media

Ten days later, on July 7, Canada took the remarkable step of designating 29 individuals who are, according to the Canadian government, figures involved in Russian disinformation and propaganda, as well as 15 entities that Canada refers to as involved in disinformation activity, including a media regulator. The Russian government likely considers the sanctioned individuals to be media figures, albeit state-friendly or outright state-controlled. Illustrative of the news-media nature of the people are the names of the entities: Channel One Russia JSC; Television Station Russia-1; NTV Broadcasting Company JSC; Russotrudnichestvo (known as “the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad and International Humanitarian Cooperation”); TASS; the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK); Gazprom Media; National Media Group; Rossiya-24 TV Channel; Smotrim; Ru; RT; Sputnik; REGNUM News Agency; and Roskomnadzor (the “Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information technology and Mass Media”).

Notably, Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, who is widely considered to be driving the policy on Canada’s sanctions on Russia and Belarus, was formerly a wellknown member of the press who once served as the Moscow bureau chief for an international business-news organization.

Gold Import Ban

Also on July 7, Canada prohibited the import of certain gold products from Russia, including unwrought gold, semi-manufactured gold, gold powder, monetary gold and jewelry made of gold.

Services Ban Expanded

A week later, on July 14, Canada added two more manufacturing services to the list of those that cannot be provided to banned industries: services incidental to manufacturing, except to the manufacture of metal products, machinery and equipment; and services incidental to the manufacture of metal products, machinery and equipment.

Canada also added eight new industries to the list of those to which banned services cannot be provided:

• the manufacture of basic metals;

• of fabricated metal products;

• of computer, electronic and optical products;

• of electrical equipment;

• of machinery and equipment;

• of motor vehicles, trailers and semi trailers;

• of other transport equipment; and

• land transport and transport via pipelines.

The Bucha Massacre and Other Defense-Sector Designations

On July 29, Canada designated for sanctions an additional 43 individuals and 17 entities. These include military officials allegedly involved in the massacre of more than 1,000 Ukrainians in the city of Bucha early in the war, as well as entities in the defense sector that, according to Canada’s government, directly or indirectly support the Russian military.

Sanctions on Belarus Are Expanded

On June 27, Canada imposed new sanctions on Belarus similar to those previously or contemporaneously imposed on Russia. These prohibit the export to Belarus of certain goods and technologies, luxury goods and goods for the manufacture of weapons; they also ban the import of certain luxury goods from Belarus. The same day, Canada designated for sanctions 13 senior officials of Belarus’s Ministry of Defense and two Belarusian military entities.

Designation of Certain Ukrainian Nationals

Also on June 27, Canada sanctioned 15 former senior officials of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic, along with their family members and purported leaders in areas of eastern Ukraine illegally occupied by Russian forces or controlled by Russia-backed proxies.

Potential Implications for Canadian Businesses

As detailed above, Canada continues to add to the thicket of sanctions on Russia and Belarus. This poses an ever-increasing burden on Canadian companies, which must comply with these sanctions. It’s important to take care to ensure compliance; enforcement is surely more top-of-mind than it has been in recent years.

Conclusion

The pace of new Canadian sanctions has yet to abate. Although the number of people and entities who could potentially be designated for their involvement in or support of Russia’s war is presumably vast, logically there ought to be an end point for other types of sanctions given how extensive the ones already imposed have been—and the diminishing returns of identifying any remaining areas of commercial relations between Canada and Russia (or Belarus). This hasn’t happened yet, however, and the Canadian government remains creative in finding new sanctions to impose, apparently wishing to maintain a position of global leadership to whatever extent it is able. ●

“This poses an everincreasing burden on Canadian companies, which must comply with these sanctions.”

ESG AND STAKEHOLDER CAPITALISM

AS TOOLS FOR ENERGY TRANSITION

The recent rise of “stakeholder capitalism” shows the way forward to solving today’s energy crisis and working toward a carbonfree future. Are companies and governments up to the challenge?

BY JAVIER CREMADES

THESHIFT AWAY from shareholder primacy toward so-called “stakeholder” governance has been the subject of intense discussion not only in boardrooms but also throughout academia, regulatory agencies and national legislatures. The traditional Milton Friedman doctrine of shareholder primacy has been eroded to some degree by the new stakeholder paradigm, as codified in the 2020 Davos Manifesto, “The Universal Purpose of a Company in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

This transition has been decades in the making, with companies now increasingly considering environmental, social and governance issues (ESG), as well as sustainability and long-term growth. Viewed through this lens, the fundamental purpose of for-profit corporations—and, accordingly, the decision-making calculus of their boards—must include value creation. Companies do not exist in a void, after all, but in a complex ecosystem of stakeholders. These days, it’s essential that a corporation consider its commitment to those stakeholders’ values—and, in parallel, that executives speak up for responsible, sustainable development and the rule of law. In times of global crisis, amplified by the megaphone of social media, companies no longer have the option to sit on the sidelines.

Consider the recent worldwide spike in energy prices, for example. It offers important lessons, underscoring the need for debate about a nondisruptive transition to a low-carbon world and less dependence on imported fossil fuels. Major countries’ commitment to an accelerated path toward climate neutrality will be the most effective instrument to stimulate economies, reduce energy costs and avoid energy security problems down the road. However, current global instability, with protectionist measures on the rise and geopolitical tensions exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, make this an inauspicious moment for multilateralism. Under these circumstances, where the incentive for a global and coordinated response is undermined, and the legal security required by private sector is challenged, the contribution of the private sector, its commitments and business decisions—as a global

actor—will be more than ever a key indicator on how successful we are on addressing the climate change global challenge.

Bearing in mind that in the shortterm Europe will not be able to reduce its energy dependence on others, Europeans are nonetheless obliged to diversify their resources to guarantee steady supplies. In the mid- and long term, however, the solution must be self-sufficiency through the transition to cleaner energy, though this will require considerable investment over many years. As such, global corporations need to commit to addressing the challenge of climate change.

Global and local climate targets, typically tied to goals ideally achieved by 2030 and 2050, necessitate greater

and investors across Europe have endorsed the ambitions of the European Green Deal; in a recent open letter with more than 200 signatories, companies including Microsoft, IKEA, Iberdrola, Unilever and Deutsche Bank outlined their determination for a climate-resilient global recovery.

For the European Union, meanwhile, the most effective way to achieve energy self-sufficiency is to accelerate the transition in every dimension: increasing the use of renewables, promoting energy efficiency and improving new technologies, in particular green hydrogen. These objectives underlie the European Commission’s REPowerEU plan, unveiled this May, which reinforces the objectives outlined in the “Fit for 55” communiqué, under which the EU will reduce its net emissions by 55% by 2030.

The rise in energy prices is a great cause for concern, and a major challenge to the energy transition process. Businesses and governments alike must implement corrective measures without jeopardizing the progress already made. The European energy market, studies show, has worked very effectively, particularly for encouraging investment in renewables. The current problems are a result of rising gas prices; they must be solved with specific measures, in particular toward vulnerable sectors, like families, households, small and mediumsized enterprises, the self-employed and, very importantly, industry.

private investment in renewables, which will reduce greenhousegas emissions and contribute significantly to the fight against climate change. At the national level, renewables will help guarantee price stability and promote energy independence, making future supply crises less likely.

All this helps explain why companies committed to ESG and stakeholder capitalism have a major role to play. Business leaders

Europe began its energy transition two decades ago and has already achieved important results, notably the fulfillment of the objectives set for 2020 and the positive forecast for those of 2030. The EU has the world’s most complete set of legislative tools and financial instruments to decarbonize by 2050. Although the current crisis presents significant risks, Europe unquestionably has the capacity to overcome them and accelerate this critical process.
