Geoblocking has made its return to the EU agenda: The EU Parliament is preparing to vote on a non-binding report to suggest to include audiovisual in the revision of the geoblocking legislation: to allow everyone to access culture cross-borders. [1/2]

We urgently need a reform of the Geo-blocking Regulation to enable broader access to audiovisual works. Read our latest blog post and ask your MEP to support the IMCO report when it's up for vote next week.
