PARIS, May 7 (Reuters) – Amazon’s Prime Video will invest at ‌least 90 million euros ($105.95 ‌million) in European video and movie production ​in French language this year, the French telecoms regulator said on Thursday.

Amazon’s investment requirement would ‌raise to 110 ⁠million euros if the streaming service releases at ⁠least one film fewer than 12 months after it premiered ​in theatres, ​ARCOM, the ​regulator, said in ‌a statement.

The amount had been set in 2021 at 40 million euros per year, it said, adding the amounts for ‌the coming years will ​depend on Prime ​Video’s ​sales revenues.

Broadcasters and streaming ‌services are forced to ​invest in European ​video and cinematographic production in French language to be ​allowed to ‌operate in France.
