Position Statement on the amended Federal Act on Film (Lex Netflix)
The Swiss parliament has approved a plan to increase taxes on streaming companies in order to reinvest these funds in the Swiss film industry. Following the amendment's approval, streaming platforms will be required to invest 4% of the revenue generated in Switzerland in local filmmaking and to carry at least 30% of European products in their catalogues. A group of Swiss film producers called it an "essential step" to prevent the industry from dying in Switzerland, as it did in Germany and Italy
