PRACTICE NOTES
EU AVMS Directive (2010/13/EU, as amended by 2018/1808): scope incl. VSPs, country-of-origin, content/advertising controls, European works quotas, EMFA changes and upcoming evaluation

The EU AVMS Directive sets out rules that govern content and advertising for AVMS.

Where the text refers only to Directive 2010/13/EU, it uses ‘Original EU AVMS Directive’; where it refers solely to Directive (EU) 2018/1808, it uses ‘Revised EU AVMS Directive’.
