Main EU files targeted
The MPA monitors the development of EU policies and legislation, notably in the field of Intellectual Property (Copyright and IP enforcement), Culture, Audiovisual Policy, the Internal Market, Competition, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability and the Information Society. In this context, the MPA regularly meets with national governments, EU officials, MEPs as well as industry counterparts and seeks to contribute constructively to public consultations associated with EU's policy-development process. These objectives involve written submissions, participation in hearings, conferences and seminars as well as some amount of travelling (e.g. Strasbourg for EP Plenary sessions and Member States holding the Presidency of the Council).
