For the effectiveness of this right, providers of the television communication service of state or regional coverage must reserve to European works 51% of the annual broadcast time of each channel or set of channels of the same provider, excluding the time dedicated to information, sports events, games, advertising, teletext and teleshopping services. At the same time, 50% of that quota is reserved for European works in any of the Spanish languages. In any case, 10% of the total emission will be reserved for independent producers of the service provider and half of that 10% must have been produced in the last five years.
The providers of a catalogue of programs must reserve 30% of the catalogue to European works. Half of that reserve will be in one of the official languages of Spain.
Since 2013, the CNMC has been the supervisory body for compliance with the European audiovisual work quota obligation in television audiovisual media services.
