Sound and Vision has a legislative basis for part of its activities: the broadcast archiving functions that we do have been written into the "media law" from 2008. This article from IvIR (in Dutch) might be useful: http://www.ivir.nl/publicaties/download/1043. What is or isn't stored, however, depends entirely on Sound and Vision's collection policy: http://publications.beeldengeluid.nl/pub/386. There is also an agreement with the (recently closed) Media fund about acquiring new productions. EYE doesn't have a legal deposit either, but collaboration agreements with e.g. the Dutch Film Fund to acquire new productions. Collection policy EYE: https://www.eyefilm.nl/en/file/17264/download.
