RTVE returns to the Executive Council of the EBU after seven years of absence

José Manuel Pérez Tornero

The president of RTVE, José Manuel Pérez Tornero, has been unanimously elected as a new member of the Executive Council of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) during the 86th General Assembly, held this Thursday, July 1, virtually.

The public Corporation thus returns to occupy a position in this body from which it has been absent since 2014.

Pérez Tornero ha defendido su candidatura expresando su convicción de que los medios públicos son “esenciales” para la democracia, así como la necesidad de modernizarse y adaptarse “a la nueva era digital”. En esta línea ha considerado necesario que las plataformas paguen impuestos para financiar los medios públicos y todos tengan “las mismas reglas”. “Es hora de unirse y de demandar a nuestros gobiernos y a la UER políticas para la protección y promoción de nuestros servicios públicos”, ha añadido.

El presidente de RTVE ha sido elegido como representante en el Consejo Ejecutivo de los países mediterráneos y se ha marcado como objetivo “unir las dos orillas”.

El Consejo Ejecutivo (EXBO) es el principal órgano de gobierno de la Unión Europea de Radiotelevisión y está encargado de marcar la estrategia general de la UER, presentar el presupuesto para su aprobación ante la Asamblea General y supervisar que se lleven a cabo las decisiones que voten los miembros.

Está formado por 11 miembros. Lo preside Delphine Ernotte, directora general de France TV, y su vicepresidente es Petr Dvorák, director general de la TV checa. Además, cuenta con nueve miembros más: Thomas Bellut (ZDF), Cilla Benkö (SR/Suecia), Marcello Foa (RAI), Monika Garbačiauskaitė-Budrienė (LTR/Lituania), Giacomo Ghisani, (Radio Vaticana), Sebastian Sergei Parker (Channel One/Rusia), Fran Unsworth (BBC) y Alexander Wrabetz (ORF/Austria).

In its last meeting, the 86th General Assembly of the EBU, which brings together 115 broadcasters from 56 countries and 31 associates in Asia, Africa, Australasia and America, has agreed to promote international co-productions of fiction and documentaries, promote the purchase of sports rights and the launch of a pan-European public radio and television platform.
