  • Public consultations: Assessing State aid for films and other audiovisual works

    Public consultations: Assessing State aid for films and other audiovisual works

    Audiovisual works, particularly films, play an important role in shaping European identities. They reflect the cultural diversity of the different traditions and histories of the EU Member States and regions. Audiovisual works are both economic goods, offering important opportunities for the creation of wealth and employment, and cultural goods which mirror and shape our societies. Within the EEA, any assistance given by a public body to undertakings which has the potential to distort competition and affect trade between EU Member States is subject to the EU State aid rules. This generally includes public support for audiovisual works.

    It is important to read the specific privacy statement attached to this consultation for information on how your personal data and contribution will be dealt with. Period of consultation: from 14.03.2012 to 14.06.2012
