Self-declared to the EU Transparency Register (snapshot 30 Aug 2026); cost bands are floors, not audited totals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU.
CANAL+ filed 5 positions between 5 May 2021 and 25 Jun 2026, across 5 of the 326 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 4 times.
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.

CANAL+ believes it is neither necessary nor advisable to reopen the 2019 Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (CDSMD or Copyright Directive), which has led to significant achievements amongst which fairer sharing of value between creative sector players and online platforms which must be preserved.
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.
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.
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.
