This new publication marks the launch of a new series by the European Audiovisual Observatory’s Department for Legal Information. This first edition of the AVMSDigest report focuses on the national transposition of Articles 13, 16 and 17 of the revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive in the EU, EEA, EFTA and UK.
After a brief introduction to the topic, the report provides an overview of:
The share of European works in VOD catalogues and prominence obligations,
The majority proportion of transmission time for European works and share of independent productions,
Financial obligations on VOD services and broadcasters
This figure comes from a brand new free European co-production report just published by the European Audiovisual Observatory, part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. The report examines film co-production activity in Europe over the period 2007 – 2016.
Co-productions accounted for 24.2% of overall film production volume in Europe over the period 2010-2015 (23.8% when excluding GBinc productions – defined as a film produced in the United Kingdom (GB), for which the main producer is a United Kingdom-registered company which may be wholly or partially owned or controlled by a company based in a different country – usually the US). European co-productions generated 1,576 million admissions, i.e. 50.3% of overall attendance for European films during the period examined (34.9% when excluding GBinc films). In addition, European co-productions generated three times as many admissions as purely European national films.
A total of 39.5% of the films produced in Europe between 2010 and 2015 received a theatrical release in a country other than the main production country; for majority co-productions the figure rises to 62.9%, i.e. 1 464 films over the period analysed. On average, European co-productions circulate almost twice as widely as purely national productions (32.1%). The overall foreign release territories average for European co-productions was 6.43.
