> The proposals will require that streaming services give over at least 30% of their on-demand catalogues to original productions made in each EU country where a service is provided Not possible and for sure nothing people even want. We have two or three channels in Sweden that makes original content that could go up on Netflix. And they don't really have more than one or two series (10 episodes max) running at a time per season. Two of the channels have their own streaming service (C-More, Viaplay), the third is public service who also puts it up there (SVT Play) for a good long time. There is plenty of really bad content that the tv channels can sell to Netflix though. A good way for a traditional tv company to stay alive a bit longer. But then there's HBO and others that needs exclusive rights to the content so probably still not possible.

Well, TechCrunch says "made in each EU country where a service is provided"... but every single other report about this, including the Variety article that TechCrunch linked to and is simply repeating, says differently. https://advanced-television.com/2018/04/27/svods-set-for-eu-quotas/ https://advanced-television.com/2018/04/27/svods-set-for-eu-... > at least 30 per cent share of European content. https://www.neweurope.eu/article/eu-council-raises-eu-content-netflix-quota-30/ https://www.neweurope.eu/article/eu-council-raises-eu-conten... > to buy European content for the European market https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2018/04/27/eu-bodies-agree-30-european-quota-on-netflix-type-services/ https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2018/04/27/eu-bodies-agree-3... > a quota of 30% for European works on their platforms https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/26/eu-third-party-trader-amazon-google-ebay https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/26/eu-third-... > will have to dedicate 30% of their output to TV shows and films made in Europe etc, etc. Unless TechCrunch has some new inside information, this article is wrong. And given that it's TechCrunch... it's probably wrong.
