The idea that the decline in audiovisual investments 'triggers' the announcement of new streaming quotas is a gross oversimplification of the regulatory dynamics.
Qualifying this relationship as a direct trigger ignores the complexity of governmental intentions and the often proactive nature of proactive regulation.
This type of measure is usually the result of extended political deliberations and a clear desire for cultural sovereignty, not just a reaction to figures.
For example, in France, production quotas have existed for decades, illustrating a structural political commitment to national creation, long before any specific investment decline.
Reducing such a decision to a simple market causality distorts the true motivation of legislators.
