Comment from Motion Picture Association

Summary: The Motion Picture Association (MPA) supports the U.S. government's review of South Africa's AGOA eligibility, specifically urging the government to address South Africa's proposed "Revised Draft White Paper" on audiovisual media services. The MPA argues that the White Paper's proposed licensing, content quotas, and levies would create unnecessary regulatory barriers, stifle investment, and harm the U.S. film and television industry's ability to operate in the South African market.
