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.
The Legal & Policy Assembly brings together senior legal and policy experts from across the EBU Membership. It is a forum for updating Members on latest developments impacting public service media in Europe and beyond, as well as an opportunity for sharing experiences and networking.
The 25th EBU Legal & Policy Assembly will take place in Amsterdam at The Hermitage Museum.
