When, for the production of an audiovisual work, a production company has received financial support for the production and preparation of audiovisual works, it may apply for production approval for this work. In this case, production approval may only be granted if the following conditions are met:
1° The audiovisual work must not have been broadcast for the first time on a television service or made available to the public for the first time on an on-demand audiovisual media service in France;
2° The production company must have waived its entitlement to financial support for the production and preparation of audiovisual works before the cinematographic exhibition licence was issued.
