Cabinet OKs' Italian films on TV decree (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, October 2 - The cabinet on Monday approved a decree setting quotas for Italian films on Italian TV. Culture Minister Dario Franceschini said the new rules "valorise creativity and Italian cinema". Under the rules, at least 60% of programming will reportedly have to be European, and 40% Italian. Entertainment industry unions have said the proposed quotas are too high. The cabinet did not mention exact limits but said there would be "strong penalties" for breaking the rules. Amazon and Netflix will also have to apply them, it said.
