FAQs - Accessing online content abroad

EU rules on accessing online content abroad are designed to cover temporary stays abroad, such as during holidays and business trips. So, in your case, where you are commuting daily between 2 EU countries, you will have access to the same content when working in Germany as you would have at home in France.
There are no limits on your access to your online content abroad, as long as you are living in an EU country. However, you should check the exact conditions of your online content access with your service provider if you plan to move to another EU country for a longer period.

YES. If the content is provided online for free – such as through a free app – then the Swedish broadcaster is not obliged to make content accessible outside Sweden.
When you pay for online content – such as music or video streaming – you should always have access to the content elsewhere in the EU. However, providers of free content, such as public broadcasters, are allowed to choose whether to give you access outside your home country or not.

YES. EU rules only cover your access to content from your home country when you travel. For example, in the case of the live football app, a Spanish subscriber on holiday in Estonia would be able to watch live football matches through the app, as they pay for a subscription to the application in their home country of Spain. As an Estonian resident, the service provider is not obliged to make their content available to you.
