Resumen de Luxembourg: : New Grand-Ducal Regulation on the film fund for audiovisual production
Accompanying the adoption of the new Act on the Luxembourgish support scheme for the audiovisual sector (see this IRIS issue), a Grand-Ducal regulation was adopted, on 4 November 2014, which entered into force on 5 December 2014. The Grand-Ducal regulation on the execution of the Act of 22 September 2014 on the national fund for the support of audiovisual production (Règlement grand-ducal portant execution de la loi du 22 septembre 2014 relative au Fonds national de soutien à la production audiovisuelle) - hereinafter the regulation - lays down the conditions, criteria and modalities for receiving contributions from the film fund, as indicated in the law in question. It thus offers greater substance in particular to Articles 9, 10, 12 and 13 of the law. This Grand-Ducal regulation replaces the one of 16 March 1999, which was adopted in view of the reform of the film fund in 1998 (see IRIS 1999-2/15). The regulation of 2014 is a lot more detailed (especially with respect to the selection criteria) than its predecessor, even if the basic approach remains the same.
