EUROPEAN PLATFORM OF REGULATORY AUTHORITY (EPRA)

Set up in April 1995 in Malta, the European Platform of Regulatory Authorities aims at providing a forum:

1. for informal discussion and exchange of views between regulatory authorities in the broadcasting field
2. for exchange of information about common issues of national and European broadcasting regulation
3. for discussion of practical solutions to legal problems regarding the interpretation and application of broadcasting regulation.

Rather than pursuing national directives or acting as a tribune of common declarations, EPRA provides an open platform for discussions on a wide variety of relevant topics to regulators.
The EPRA holds two meetings a year at the invitation of a regulatory authority, usually one in Spring and the second one in Autumn.
