Response to Evaluation of the Geo-blocking Regulation

10 Mar 2025

On behalf of the Spanish Federation of Film Distributors (Fedicine), the national trade federation in Spain representing more than 80% of the Spanish distribution market, it is essential that the film and audiovisual sector continue to remain exempt from the Geo-blocking Regulation. The ability and freedom to deploy geo-blocking which enables rightsholders to license rights on a territory-by-territory basis remains essential for businesses - including SMEs - across Europe to secure funding for content development, organising the optimal marketing, distribution and exploitation (theatrical, physical carriers, broadcasting and online) of all types of film and audiovisual content. Our industry is unique in that significant upfront investment is required before any of the expenditure can be recouped. Licensing on a territory-by-territory basis - adapting to national and regional market realities, including different languages- offers the optimum chance for these investments to be matched by earnings and for financing to be invested in future content. Theatrical distribution - with a 2024 Gross Box Office of EUR 6.6 billion in Europe - is a vital component of our cultural and creative economy. We support the European Commission's drive to strengthen European competitiveness and our sector is an integral element of the equation. Including the film and audiovisual sector in the Geo-blocking Regulation will clash with the European Commission's ambition to promote European businesses and ease the burden of red tape. Find attached the International Federation of Film Distributors' and Publishers' Associations (FIAD) submission which we support.
