Germany rejects US criticism over streaming investment law (politico.eu)

• Germany's draft law mandates 8% investment in German/European productions.
• USTR Greer warned of conflict with Turnberry Agreement; Berlin disagrees.
• France (20%) and Italy (16%) already have higher obligations.

"Germany denied US allegations that its proposed streaming investment law violates the EU-US Turnberry trade pact. The government spokesperson called the 8% requirement moderate by European standards and a cultural policy tool, not a trade barrier. The dispute follows the EU's agreement to implement Turnberry and mirrors US scrutiny of similar Canadian legislation."
