The Dutch Parliament approved a bill that requires large streaming services to invest a portion of their revenue in local productions.

Streaming services such as Netflix or Disney+, which generate more than €10 million ($10.7 million) in revenue in the Netherlands, will be obliged to invest at least 5% of those sales in Dutch films, series and documentaries, according to a Tuesday statement by the government.
