Netflix and Amazon Prime might be forced to have 20% European content by the EU

The EU’s European Commission is reportedly mulling a quota for streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime that would see them forced to consist of at least 20% European TV and movies.

Netflix has rejected similar proposals before, telling the European Commission: “Rigid numerical quotas risk suffocating the market for on-demand audiovisual media services.

Draft proposals set to be unveiled next week are also expected to impose a rule that streaming services “ensure prominence” of European content on their homepages.
