BRUSSELS: Online streaming services including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video could be required by countries to help fund European films and TV shows under a preliminary deal struck by EU lawmakers and member states on April 26.
The new law extends the European Union's broadcasting rules to online video services and includes a quota of at least 30% for European works on video-on-demand platforms.
