From news coverage to live internet streaming, from managing EP audiovisual facilities to supporting AV journalists covering Parliament activities from outside or within: these are the main activities of the Audiovisual Unit of the European Parliament, a large and dynamic team, providing AV journalists both with content and technical services.

Keeping up to date on recent developments in audiovisual and multimedia technology, at the AV Unit of the European Parliament talented professionals work together with a common mission: to support AV journalists in Video, Radio and Photo production; transmission, promotion and distribution.  

These services, available in Brussels and Strasbourg, include: live video recording of plenary sessions (both satellite & web transmission), committee meetings (webstreamed live & VOD), broad news coverage of events available on the EU satellite service EbS, as well as audio recordings (& podcasts) of meetings/events and photo reportages.  All audiovisual materials produced in the EP are stored in the Media Library- the precious AV archives.

All these services are free of charge and are just a few clicks away, on the Audiovisual Website:

This website, especially targeted to media professionals, was created to help transfer through a highly performing FTP all audiovisual medias (video, audio and photo) produced by the European Parliament. On top of it, the website is also the main gateway to book EP Audiovisual Unit's technical facilities, both in Brussels and in Strasbourg.
