The European Alliance of Listeners' and Viewers' Associations
|
Est 1996
At this conference "Global Enquiring for
VLV Listeners and Viewers" the President of the Broadcasting Union Chief
of the European Commissioner spoke for the first time at the event organised
by a consumer group. As a direct result of the event the European
Commissioner agreed to add consumer groups to its official consultation
list. Until this date no consumer bodies had been involved.
VLV has campaigned actively at European level
since 1993 on the future of Public Service Broadcasting and held its first
international conference in London. As a direct result of its first
international conference in 1993, VLV was instrumental in the formation
of the EURALVA which held its first annual meeting in 1996.
EURALVA now has member organisation in seven
european countries and associates in Australia, Canada, New Zealand.
For list see below.
VLV was also instrumental in the Councillor
of Europe decision to involve citizen and consumer groups in its hearing
and consultations. VLV chairman and committee members have given
evidence to the Councillor of Europe hearings for the media several times
since 1993.
EURALVA represents the interest of listeners
and viewers of broadcasting services and works to maintain the principle
of public service in broadcasting.
