European Audiovisual Observatory

Overview
The European Audiovisual Observatory is a non-profit public service organization within the legal framework of the Council of Europe. The European Union in 1999 decided to become a member of the EAO. The Observatory's work is dedicated to the systematic collection, preparation and distribution of relevant information on the audiovisual sector in Europe. Its core competencies are related to market information (statistical and qualitative analysis), legal information (law and case law), financing (films and television programmes) and information mapping (who informs about what).
