France Télévisions and EBU to extend cooperation

At a meeting in Paris last week attended by senior staff from France 2, France 3 and the EBU, all parties agreed to extend their existing cooperation over the coming months.

Jean Réveillon, Deputy Director General of France 3 and EBU Vice-President, pointed out that the EBU and France Télévisions had a remarkable track record working together in the sector of children's animation. 

He was also very impressed by the diversity and depth of the programmes on offer by the EBU TV Department, which he felt should be further explored. In particular, he proposed to involve the regional outlets of France 3 even more.

During the meeting Philippe Landré, Deputy Director of Programmes at France 2, also confirmed that France 2 would participate in the "Rolling Stones Live" event and documentary to be broadcast over the Eurovision network .

At the close of the meeting Bjørn Erichsen, the EBU TV Director, took the opportunity to extend an invitation to all of the regional directors of France 3 to visit the EBU in the autumn, which Jean Réveillon accepted.
