Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 326 consultation files tracked so far (29,503 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

What they argued

Evaluation of the Geo-blocking Regulationfiled 11 Mar 2025PDFsource

Canal + believes that if the European Commission were to revise the 2018 Geoblocking Regulation to include content in its scope, it would have severe consequences for the financing, distribution, and diversity of European productions. Territorial exclusivity is a cornerstone of content pre-financing, permitting producers to secure investments through exclusive licensing agreements across different markets.

Digital Markets Actfiled 5 May 2021source

CANAL+ Group is a major European audiovisual player investing heavily in premium content and having the ambition to export European culture on the continent and beyond. Like all European players, the Group is facing an extremely unbalanced competition from very large online platforms playing a role of gatekeeper and having recourse to various unfair commercial practices.

Update of EU rules on audiovisual media servicesfiled 19 Dec 2025PDFsource

CANAL+ believes it is too early to reopen the AVMSD: not only are the existing provisions flexible enough to address new challenges and market realities but, more importantly, the 2018 revision was recently implemented making it difficult to fully assess its impact on the market.

Assessment of the effects of the Recommendation on combating online piracy of sports and other live eventsfiled 4 Jun 2025PDFsource

CANAL+ Group (CANAL+) thanks the European Commission for launching a call for evidence in relation to its upcoming assessment of its Recommendation of 4 May 2023 on combating online piracy of sports and other live events (the Recommendation). CANAL+ is a historic pay TV player with the ambition to promote local and European culture in a multitude of territories.
