The purpose of this Commission Decision is to adopt the instruments enabling the implementation of Council Decision 2239/2004/EC of 17 November 2004. In order to do this, the Commission concluded a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ (MoU) whereby it formalised the involvement of the Community in the European Audiovisual Observatory.
In so doing, the Commission confirms that the payment of the Community’s annual financial contribution to the Observatory will take place according to the rules laid down in the MoU attached to the Decision, with a maximum annual ceiling set at 235.000 EUR by the budgetary authority.
The MoU contains, in addition, the technical and financial details relating to the payment of the Community’s contribution.
