Producers criticize the CCMA for the new relationship framework: "It's not consensual."

BarcelonaAudiovisual producers expressed their displeasure this Friday over what they consider unfair treatment by the Catalan Audiovisual Media Corporation (CCMA). The CCMA has made progress after 15 months of negotiations, but at the same time flatly rejects having to cede broadcasting rights for projects filmed for the CCMA for a period of 20 years, when they believe European regulations stipulate a maximum of 7 or 10 years. The CCMA claimed that it was "born out of dialogue with the sector" and would lead to "an improvement in the industrial profit of production companies, a greater commitment to creativity, and a step forward in process transparency." Among the approved measures was an increase in the industrial profit for second or subsequent seasons from 8% to 10%, which had not been agreed upon by both parties. Cera also called for "the depoliticization of the governing council of the CCMA," arguing that "only in this way can a strong audiovisual industry be built," according to PROA in its statement. Another point of contention is the ownership of the rights, which, according to PROA, means that producers who film in Catalan are at a competitive disadvantage compared to those who do so in Spanish, since the latter have an easier time incorporating other public television channels into the project. proposes that this 50% be transformed into performance rights (that is, that everything generated by the work could represent a return for the CCMA, but without blocking part of the ownership)
