Abstract
Europe — with its 731 million inhabitants (460 million in the EU 25, plus 271 million in the rest of Europe) — represents the largest audiovisual market in the world. The continent has a thriving audiovisual sector that in 2004 was worth more than 100 billion Euros and employed more than a million people. The economic significance of the sector is further revealed by the fact that it accounts for 5 per cent of Europe’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 20 per cent of growth and 40 per cent of productivity (Reding, 2004).
