Ireland now wants to include the EU Audiovisual Media Directive in national law. It stipulates that 30 percent of program content from television stations and streaming providers must be European.

Ireland commented that British productions would remain European after Brexit.

The Apple TV + is now one year old, and the service was immediately launched in over a hundred countries, including European countries. Unlike its competitors, Apple mostly relies solely on its own content, which it buys exclusively or makes at home.

So far, only a small British series is still in short supply, mainly from US production. Apple’s production of the Foundation Trilogy is the largest film production in the country, and includes an Irish production company – along with an American company. It is not clear if Apple is planning more European content – the company has not yet released a statement.
