Represent independent television and cinema production on a European scale, protecting its general interests and furthering its development;
Strengthen exchanges of information concerning audiovisual production;
Develop commercial relations between European producers;
Create a network of information and dialogue about the various problems affecting the profession in Europe, whether these are economic, legal, technical, social or other;
Promote the interests of independent producers vis-a-vis the various European, national and international authorities.- Meetings
