Rapporten sammenligner og analyserer nasjonale og regionale offentlige støtteordninger i Europa, og tar blant annet for seg likheter og forskjeller mellom støtteordninger til film- og TV-produksjoner.

Det heter i EAOs egenomtale av rapporten:
"Support systems for European cinema and audiovisual industries are living entities and as such are frequently modified. This is perhaps even more true at a time when signs of renewal can be seen in national audiovisual and cinematographic industries.

The whole landscape of public support systems for the cinema and audiovisual industries is depicted, portraying the great diversity of national and regional policies. This overview of the situation enables us not only to pinpoint the originality of cinema and audiovisual policies in each country, but also to identify their common elements. Through this study we gain an insight into the wealth of policies which have sprung up and the flexible way in which these are adapted to specific national situations, whilst appreciating the need for aid policies on a European level.

This work draws on an in-depth study carried out by the National Cinematographic Center in Paris and the European Audiovisual Observatory and provides information on the sums of money distributed".
