They want control over all forms of media, including anime. The anime market has largely escaped their control, and this pisses them off....and thus you get bills like this which are ostensibly "for defense of the children!" when its just a broad hammer designed to smash an entity they lack control of.
The scary part is...think about how shit US institutions/systems/governments are. Now realize, by and large, we still have it better than most other places. They've tried similar stuff in the US, on the small scale, but Europe just loves their sweeping retarded regulations. There's no competition.

Europeans really just want to return to feudalism and be ruled over by a lord. It's ingrained in their peasant DNA.
