EBU currently has 41 member countries, each represented by a national delegation. Its work is directed by an Executive Board of 13 elected members who are accountable to a General Assembly held every four years.

🟡 The Central Office of EBU is based in Paris. It is responsible for communication within EBU and for information to the general public. It produces a monthly Members Newsletter in English, and a three-monthly Focus Newsletter in English, French, German and Spanish.

🔵 EBU provides a European platform for its membership to share views, expertise and information and to act together on matters of common interest.
