The federation aims at getting any network and any on-line video provider which target a European audience to invest into the production of original content in Europe, securing the public financing available at the European, national and/or local levels for the production of animated films and series produced in Europe and having a regular and constructive dialogue with the European authorities on the regulation and the financing of the animation industry.

A buoyant animation industry is a strong indicator of a healthy media sector, providing thousands of jobs and attracting talented creatives. However, Europe’s animation sector varies in health greatly from country to country. As some countries’ animation industries excel thanks to reliable government support, others falter and face significant obstructions to growth.

While a tax credit for animation will not automatically result in a healthy sector, it’s clear it’s increasingly hard to create a healthy animation sector without one. The examples of Ireland, the UK and Poland highlight the positive impact a national funding instrument can have, while the problems caused by the lack of one is evident in the stunted animation sectors of countries such as Portugal, Denmark and Germany.
