Originally made available as Excel tables, the AVMSD & European Works Database and the Levies Database were two separate tools designed to help users navigate national legislations supporting the promotion of European works.
In 2025, these resources have been brought together and digitised into Opus, an easy-to-use, searchable database.
The European Audiovisual Observatory is part of the Council of Europe, based in Strasbourg. We provide data and analysis on the cinema, television and VOD industries in Europe, from an economic and legal point of view.
