This quota sort of work for movie theater (and radio/TV) because offering crappy content makes them miss out on some money. This is not the case with Netflix. Netflix will be completely OK with serving locally produced content that nobody watch because it will only cost them a couple of hard drive that won't ever be used. So Netflix will just end up licensing the cheapest locally content to meet their quota. This content will also be the poorest, which will turn people away from locally produced content. Another job well done by the EU. PS: If any Netflix exec sees this, I'm available for creating french films at the rate of 200 EUR / hour.
