Digital Services Act package: deepening the Internal Market and clarifying
responsibilities for digital services
The audiovisual sector is a cornerstone of the EU’s socio-economic pillar and a priceless strand of the EU’s cultural fabric. According to a study recently published by EY, the audiovisual sector was worth €121.7 billion in 2018, accounting for approximately 22% of the industry globally and accounts for 1,049,000 jobs in direct employment in 2018. Moreover, it is important to recall that 2019 was a record-breaking year for cinemas worldwide and that the cinema industry in Europe was on a growth trajectory, with an unprecedented 1.34 billion admissions across European territories in 2019. The share of independent TV productions has been high accounting for 74% of TV fictions titles in 2017, according to the European Audiovisual Observatory.
