Sharing the sights and sounds of Europe
While many see the European Union as a bureaucratic fortress, the EU itself at least tries to be more transparent for the citizens of the Single Market. The European Commission’s Audiovisual Service daily upload pictures, videos and audio, of what’s happening in the Commission. They have a broad archive, which also contains pictures and videos from the European Unions history. European audiovisual material dating from the 1940s is available.
It is easy to find what you need, there are several searching possibilities, and you can search thematic. Journalists are (almost) free to use these tools as they self prefer, as long as they credit the European Community. Press briefings and other important meetings are broadcasted as they are taking place. All the materials are available in professional standards. It is also possible to borrow TV-studios in the ‘Audiovisual services’ facilities.
This audio is from the website, and is an old archive clip of Willy Brandt. (Audio©European Community 2007)
