The European Commission on 03 February 2014 formally established a group of EU Regulatory Authorities in the field of Audiovisual Media Services.

The Group brings together heads or high level representatives of national independent regulatory bodies in the field of audiovisual services, to advise the Commission in implementing the EU's Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) in a converged media age.

Europe's broadcast and audiovisual landscape is changing: content is increasingly distributed and viewed across borders and created, distributed and viewed online. This creates special regulatory challenges and makes it crucial to guarantee closer and more regular cooperation between the independent regulatory bodies of Member States and the Commission.
