[01] MEDIA 2007 : €755 million boost for Europe's film industry
Launched yesterday evening in Berlin, the EU's new MEDIA 2007 programme
will provide a €755 million boost to Europe's film industry over the next
seven years. Almost 65% of the total budget will help broader circulation
of European works to other countries in Europe and worldwide. MEDIA 2007
provides easier access to finance – in particular for SMEs – and
increases the use of digital technologies, making Europe's audiovisual
sector more competitive.
[02] Festival du film de Berlin 2007 : les films cofinancés par l'UE
tiennent le haut du pavé
La production cinématographique européenne pose son empreinte sur la
scène mondiale. Sur les vingt-six films qui se disputeront les principales
récompenses au 57e Festival international du film de Berlin, huit ont
bénéficié d'un financement au titre du programme européen MEDIA. Au
total, dix-sept films cofinancés par MEDIA seront projetés lors du
festival. Ces chiffres sont en nette progression par rapport à l'année
dernière.
[03] Recruitment of the Executive Director and other staff for the new
European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
The European Commission has published the post of Executive Director of the
new European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) which will start operations in
Helsinki on 1 June 2007. There is a separate launch for the recruitment of
the first 200 ECHA staff members. Highly qualified professionals in a
number of disciplines, namely, regulatory management of chemicals, IT,
accounting, finance and human resources management are now being sought.
[04] Anti-fraud seminar for Romanian investigative journalists
The seminar, held in Brussels from 12 to 16 February, will focus on the
investigative powers of the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), as well as
the EU budget and its protection in general. It is being organised by OLAF,
in cooperation with the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).
