The EBU renews its board of directors

The priority of the new Board of Directors will be to maintain a balance between achieving cost efficiencies, while promoting the improvement and modernization of the services provided by the EBU.

73rd EBU Assembly

The 73rd General Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union, held in Geneva, has elected the new executive board that will govern the EBU for the next two years.

The executive committee will be chaired again by Jean-Paul Philippot, (RTBF Belgium), who was re-elected at the summer General Assembly in Naples together with Anna-Maria Tarantola, (RAI Italy), who replaces Claudio Cappon, (RAI Italy) as vice-president. Cappon will step down after seven years of service.

Petr Dvorak, who was appointed General Director of Czech Public Broadcasting in 2011, joins the Board for his first term. The remaining eight members were re-elected by the outgoing Board of Directors.

Philippot assured that the new board of directors, which will take office on January 1, 2015 for a two-year term, reflects the diversity within the EBU.

The president assured that the priority of the new Board will be to maintain a balance between achieving cost efficiencies, while promoting the improvement and modernization of the services provided by the EBU.

“In an increasingly difficult environment in which competitors and political pressures challenge our reason for being, we need our Union to actively and continuously promote to decision makers and our public, the distinctive character and values ​​shared by PSM (public service media) such as universality, independence, excellence, diversity, responsibility and innovation.”

The EBU has 73 active members in 56 countries operating 913 television services and 854 radio services broadcasting in 96 languages ​​to a potential audience of more than one billion people.
