REGULATORY CHANGES FAVOURABLE TO INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS: ENACTMENT OF THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE ON AUDIOVISUAL MEDIA SERVICES INTO FRENCH LAW
Presentation of first-half 2019 results
› Two major reforms applicable from 01/01/2021
─ At least 30% of the content broadcast on all channels and platforms in Europe must be of European origin. ─ All broadcasting channels and platforms operating in France must comply with all the local regulations
› Implications
─ Growth in demand from US platforms for French-origin catalogues ─ All platforms will have to invest between 16% and 20% in French production (varying from one to the next), including 7% to 10% in original independent production.
Xilam in pole position to win a major share of this engine of growth
