Netflix and Amazon will have to secure series and films from the European Union

Companies like Netflix and Amazon may need to ensure that 30% of the content available in their streaming services has been created within the European Union.
Variety says that this quota could soon become law within the European area from December, with the vote to be considered as "a mere formality." The streaming services in question will then have to commission these films, buy them or even contribute to film funds within the European Union.
According to Roberto Viola, head of the European Commission's department dedicated to networks, technology and content, the European Union countries will have 20 months to apply this law as soon as it is passed, and they will have the option of increasing this quota to 40%. local material.
