German Streaming Investment Obligation Faces EU Scrutiny
The European Commission has formally rejected Germany's proposed streaming investment obligation (MedienInvestVG), raising concerns about its proportionality and impact on providers' entrepreneurial freedom. The law would require platforms to invest 8% of German net revenue in European works, with an option to reduce subquotas by investing 12%. The Filmförderungsanstalt (FFA) would enforce compliance, imposing fines of 75% of unpaid amounts. Commission Director Roberto Viola sent a letter to Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, urging adjustments for EU law compatibility. The German government, via the BKM, downplayed the EU's comments as routine, but final approval remains pending. The cabinet approved the draft in May, with implementation targeted for early next year.
