MT Newswires Live06-12 23:17

Turkey's Competition Board said Friday it has concluded an investigation into Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN) Prime and Disney (DIS) through a waiver of liability.

Specifically, the board probed whether Netflix discriminates against independent producers when selecting original Turkish content to be broadcast on its platform. The regulator also examined exclusivity clauses in contracts that Netflix, BluTV, Disney, Amazon Prime, Exxen and Gain enter into with producers, distributors, actors and writers in order to carry out their activities.

Netflix agreed to measures that seek to address the Turkish content selection issue, while all the companies committed to certain steps to address the exclusivity issue as part of the agreement, the regulator said.

The companies didn't immediately reply to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
