"The German government replied to a parliamentary inquiry by the Left Party regarding the crisis in German film production. It relies on voluntary commitments from streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, Sky) totalling around €15 billion by 2030, though only €1.83 billion comes from international streamers. Critics lack binding force. The government is still evaluating a legal investment obligation."
