Report looks at how European legislation helps the Member States promote European content.
Since the AVMSD, all European countries have introduced a 30% quota for European works in SVOD catalogues. Seven countries have also introduced sub-quotas for national works (France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Slovenia, Poland and Hungary).
In addition to France, the study highlights another example of good practice: French-speaking
Belgium, where the quota of European works will increase every year for five years (2021-2026),
reaching 40% by the end of the period.
European works account for 32% of SVOD catalogues in Europe. Of this 32%, 21% are EU works and
11% are works from countries covered by the Convention on Transfrontier Television. The latter still applies in the UK, whilst the AVMSD does not.
