\"harbour\"<\/a>Australia has signed its eleventh bilateral co-production treaty for the film and TV industries.<\/p>\n

The bilateral deal with Malaysia is understood to have been inked by the federal government on the sidelines of the recent multi-lateral trade talks, known as the Trans Pacific Partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis arrangement with Malaysia presents an opportunity to build on growing co-production opportunities in our region,\u201d said Screen Producers Association CEO Matthew Deaner in a statement.<\/p>\n

Film regulatory and funding body Screen Australia, says that the country had ten prior treaties with countries including Singapore, China, Canada, Germany and South Korea. It said that negotiations were ongoing with India and Denmark, and that the government is also renegotiating the existing treaty with the United Kingdom.
\nSPA said that the TPP had also helped Australian film and TV industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have achieved a terrific outcome for Australia\u2019s screen industry with Australia\u2019s negotiation team having been able to preserve our existing rights with regard to spectrum management and licensing of broadcasting services, transmission quotas for local content on free to air and radio broadcasting services, the provision of subsidies and grants for investment or the use of taxation measures in Australian cultural activity and our international co-production program,\u201d said Deaner.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd critically, in the context of the TPP, Australia has retained the capacity to make interventions it considers appropriate and necessary in the emerging connected, online and mobile digital world to ensure the availability of Australian content to Australian audiences. Effectively a \u201ccarve-out\u201d for Australian content in this emerging space. \u00a0In so doing, Australia has avoided extending the more prescriptive outcome of the Australia \u2013 United States FTA (AUSFTA) in this area to additional trading partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
