I live in Belgium and was surprised to find out how regulated our media is. However, it is mostly for linear media (i.e. a single continous stream like traditional TV channels). The law is somewhat vague, requiring that "the largest portion of broadcast time be dedicated to European productions".
Rules for nonlinear media like Netflix basically state that they have to promote insofar possible European productions, but without hard numbers. I can imagine that these vague rules are blatantly ignored by modern streaming providers, so at least in Belgium you could see this as simply a more specific wording of already existing rules.
(I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this btw, I'm just providing some context for those interested.)
