POLICY BRIEF #48: Investment obligations for on-demand players in Europe

This Policy Brief presents the key findings of our latest report “A European comparison of obligations on VOD providers to financially contribute to the production of European works”. Building on our report from 2018, the study shows that much has already changed in the media policy landscape and that there are increasing steps taken within Member States to oblige companies that benefit from the distribution of European audiovisual content to also contribute to content production, regardless of the market in which they are based. The findings presented here can support policymakers within and outside the EU that want to introduce or adopt financial obligations for VOD providers in their countries or regions.
