On the 17th and 18th July 2008, the french presidency has organised a conference on public-service media in the digital age in Strasbourg with a view to stimulating debate and contributing to achieving a consensus between the Member States of the European Union on these issues. The aim was particularly to identify some key principles liable to inspire policies for developing public service in the digital age, so that the European model of public broadcasting – with its wealth of national traditions being fully realised in an organisation adapted to the cultural and social issues specific to each country – can continue to adapt to both the diversity of national circumstances and the emergence and dynamic evolution of technologies, services, distribution platforms and practices. For this purpose, five specific areas has been examined in workshops chaired by a moderator and recorded by a reporter. Several speakers presented their viewpoint and participants was able to comment and ask questions. This allowed a deeper look at issues relating to: – requirements specific to the definition of public service (are there specific cultural requirements?) The European nature of this conference, an integral part of the European Commission’s working calendar, was emphasised by the choice of location: the city of Strasbourg, home of the European Parliament and ARTE. The results of the conference could also provide material to be examined by the Ministers of Communication at the informal meeting of the Ministers of Audiovisual Affairs at Versailles.
