The review stated the commission aims to address the audio-visual sector and improve access to copyrighted content in the European Union in a way so as to adhere to the core concept of the EU’s Single Market.
The European Commission published a review of the 2018 Geo-blocking Regulation on November 30, which stated it is looking into making changes to the regulation that would limit such geoblocking practices in the audio-visual sector.
The report noted that the average European consumer only has access to 14% of the films available online to all EU member states.
The commission plans to address the issues pointed out in its review in its upcoming Media and Audiovisual Action Plan.
