The European Audiovisual Observatory, an enlarged Partial Agreement of the Council of Europe, was created in 1992 in order to collect and distribute information about the audiovisual industries in Europe. By making this information available, the Observatory aims at promoting greater transparency and a clearer understanding of the ways in which the audiovisual industries in Europe function, both from an economic and a legal point of view.
The Observatory provides information on the various audiovisual markets in Europe and their financing and analyses the legal issues affecting the different sectors of the audiovisual industry. It publishes reports, maintains several databases, and organises professional events. The Observatory offers the combination of a well-established system for continuous data collection assisted by a thoroughly built-up international network, more than 30 years of experience in analysing information, unique in-house expertise in the relevant subject matters and related methodological questions, a multi-national setting and strict commitment to offer solely neutral and objective information.
The Observatory is governed by its 41 members, including the European Union and Morocco, which provide the annual budget that the Observatory complements by self-generating income through products and services. The team consists of 28 staff members from 11 European countries providing unique expertise on all crucial issues of the audiovisual sector, catering to the Observatory’s very specialised IT and visibility needs and handling all financial and most of the administrative tasks related to its activities. The Observatory’s working languages are English, French and German.
