Lega Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo applauds the European Parliament. "We welcome today's outcome of the plenary session of the European Parliament, which rejected the request to the Commission to present a revision of the Geo-blocking regulation by 2025 that would have included sports and film content" he said.
"In addition, the European Parliament recognized the peculiarityà of Audio Visual services, which if included in a deletion of Geo-blocking would experience an increase in prices for consumers and a significant decrease in investment– added De Siervo -.
Last, but not least in importance, the Parliament in its vote today recognized that maintaining Geo-blocking for copyrighted products è one of the main tools to ensure cultural diversity, vice versa there would be a risk of reducing the number of content distribution channels".
