It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!\u201dIt wasn\u2019t immediately clear how any such tariff on international productions could be implemented. It\u2019s common for both large and smaller films to include production both in the US and other countries. Big-budget movies like the upcoming \u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 The Final Reckoning,” for instance, are shot around the world.The European Commission declined to comment on the statement on\u00a0Monday,\u00a0saying only that it would await concrete measures before reacting.\u201cIf Europeans can no longer make films outside the US, it becomes absurd,\u201d Andr\u00e9 Buytaers, president of Pro Spere, the Belgian federation of audiovisual and film creators and performers, told Euronews, adding that \u201cin any case, there are very few European films in circulation in the US, so the impact on Europeans will not be huge.\u201dScreenings of European movies in the US have declined in recent years, dipping from around 33 millions of ticket sales\u00a0in 2017 to 4.8 million in 2023, according to a report of the European Audiovisual Observatory from November 2024 conducted among 36 European countries (including EU member states and some non-EU countries).\u00a0The Motion Picture Association (MPA), which represents US\u00a0film, television, and streaming industries, wrote to the US administration\u00a0on 11 March flagging EU legislation imposing quotas requiring\u00a0video on demand services operating in the EU reserve 30% of their catalogue for European work. They also complained of obligations to invest in European works made by EU member states.EU\u2019s audiovisual legislation was also highlighted as a barrier to trade with the EU by a US trade representative\u2019s report published on 2 April.The EU, which is already facing tariffs of 25% on its aluminium and steel, 25% on its cars and 10% on all its imports, is negotiating with the US administration on a trade deal to end the war launched by Trump\u2019s administration. But the content of the negotiation remains uncertain, and the audiovisual production quotas would not be part of the discussion, an EU official told Euronews.Trump\u2019s threats came in time to dominate conversation at the the Cannes Film Festival, which opens on 13 May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
