EMO About us
  The European Music Office (EMO)

- The European Music Office is an international non-profit association promoting musical diversity and representing the interests of European music professionals at a European and worldwide level.
 
 
  • ACTIVITIES:
 
- EMO’s main policy consists in setting up a specific EU Programme for music.

- As coordinator of the European Music Platform, EMO develops music cooperation projects responding to the EU calls for proposals with the aim of promoting the mobility of artists and of works of art.
 
  
  • WHO IT REPRESENTS:
 
- The European Music Office brings together international and national professional organisations, associations and federations from the music sector within Europe.
 
- It represents through its members and associates all music genres and sectors (authors, composers, performers, publishers, producers, managers; those involved in live music, education and training, etc.). 
 
- EMO members are mainly European Author Rights Collecting Societies, Music Information Centers and Music Export Offices.
 
 
  • EMO AIMS: 
 
- The activities carried out by EMO in Europe favour the realisation of the European Union’s objectives in the field of culture:
 
- EMO aims at facilitating the circulation of works, artists and productions, fostering exchanges, co-operation and the mobility of the music professionals, easing public access to new artists and cultures from all over Europe, and encouraging the development of professional organisations in the European music sector.
 
  A specific programme for non-audiovisual cultural industries to be put in place by 2013

Contrary to cinema, the non-audiovisual cultural industries do not dispose of a specific promotion programme on a European level. Non-audiovisual cultural industries are now eligible for the Commission’s support under the framework of Culture 2007 programme but it is not yet adapted to this field.
 
In contrast to the traditional cultural sector, EU support does not need to intervene to fund punctual projects or to bring a direct financial support to enterprises. EMO believes it would be more effective to work with music professionals to carry out some structuring and stimulating mechanisms to fund creative industries, and European creators and artists’ production.
