Legal and Policy Assembly

The Legal and Policy Assembly gathers Members that work in legal or policy areas. It governs the advocacy work that the EBU does towards, primarily, the EU Institutions. Topics include funding, online platforms, prominence, distribution, AI, data privacy as well as media freedom and pluralism. Our goal is to ensure the right legislative frameworks for public service media.
