The agreement between ERC and the PSOE on the measures that the new Audiovisual Law to promote the use of the three co-official languages in production companies and platforms such as Netflix is imminent and could be known before the first budget vote that will begin in the Plenary of Congress this Tuesday at 11 am.
The PSOE spokesman in Congress, Héctor Gómez, pointed out at a press conference after the Board of Spokespersons that with ERC and other parliamentary groups progress is being made in the budget negotiations and that in the next few hours “we are going to close the agreement on audiovisual matters very positive “. ERC sources have indicated to EFE that this Monday the negotiations continue in all areas, in the Audiovisual Law and in other matters, such as pensions or interim.
Co-official languages
Gómez has insisted that the way to promote production in the co-official languages in the audiovisual law should go more through incentives than by setting a quota or percentage, and has stressed that the objective of the law should be to provide legal coverage and that Spain becomes a strategic operations center and a “space of opportunity”.
“The mechanism involves incentives,” he said, in the sense of giving coverage in this way to the co-official languages in an attractive framework that does not generate “entry barriers.”
From the PSOE it is pointed out that a fee or fixed percentage it could represent a barrier that would end up being detrimental to the promotion of these languages in audiovisual production.
Likewise, socialist sources have stressed that the content of the agreement could be made known Throughout the next few hours, this afternoon or tomorrow, before voting begins in the Plenary of Congress on the different parts of the Budget.
