Pick your own source then
Well, even if the name of the directive should be enough ( "Television without Frontiers" could give you a hint that theaters are not concerned) here's a link to the EU's Audiovisual and Media Policies, you'll find nothing about theaters because there's nothing about theaters.
ec.europa.eu . . .
You will also learn that the "Television without Frontiers directive" has been replaced in 2007 by the "Audiovisual Media Services Directive", and still nothing about theaters.
As for the old 1928 quotas rule of 120 American films per year, it's been a long time that it's been abolished and replaced by financial support to local productions.
Maybe the fact that Universal Studios were French-owned not so long ago, and that Universal Music still is, helped to modernize our regulations. |
