EFADs Encourages Support of European Parliament Position on Territorial Exclusivity

By

    BRUSSELS: The European Film Agency Directors, EFADs, welcomed the European Parliament Legal Affairs Committee’s support for territorial exclusivity in a statement on 21 November 2017.

    Peter Dinges, President of EFADs said: “By opposing and reducing the scope of the country of origin principle, the Legal Affairs committee showed its support for territorial exclusivity and remains faithful to its long-standing position in favour of a culturally diverse audiovisual sector and to EU citizens’ access to European culture. We therefore warmly thank the Legal Affairs committee to support such an objective and we strongly encourage all Members of the European Parliament and all Member States to support its position.”
