Council of Europe Media Division Seeks Input on Future Activities


27 July 2004

The Council of Europe (CoE) invites input from press freedom groups and media professionals regarding its priorities for future activities in the area of media law and policy.

The CoE's Steering Committee on Mass Media, which advises the intergovernmental organisation on free expression issues, is preparing a draft action plan and draft declaration that will be adopted at the 7th European Ministerial Conference on Mass Media Policy in Kyiv, Ukraine, on 10-11 March 2005.

The conference will focus on freedom of expression in times of crisis; media pluralism and cultural diversity in the age of globalisation; and media regulation in the Information Society.

NGOs are invited to submit proposals and ideas to the CoE by 31 August 2004. Submissions should be sent to the CoE's Media Division: media@coe.int
