EU Geo-Blocking Regulation: the European Parliament votes in favour of preserving cultural diversity in film and audiovisual production in Europe

FIAPF wishes to thank those Members of the European Parliament who voted earlier today in favour of preserving cultural diversity and an healthy and vibrant film and audiovisual production and distribution sector in Europe.

FIAPF approaches the upcoming review of the EU Geo-Blocking Regulation with a clear indication from the European Parliament that the single market and access of consumers to audiovisual services cannot be built at the expense of the fundamental principles that underpin the ability of our sector to raise production financing and work with dedicated distribution partners.
