Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
The Creative and Media Business Alliance (CMBA) is an informal grouping gathering some of Europe's top media and creative businesses and industry associations. It was launched in November 2004 to give the sector a strong and united voice at the level of the European Union. The CMBA notably calls upon the European Commission, the European Parliament and the EU Member States to focus on the creative and media businesses in their joint efforts to foster innovation, growth and employment in the Information Society. Its members are the following: Association of Commercial Television in Europe (ACT); Bertelsmann; Canal+ Groupe; European Association of Communication Agencies (EACA); European Magazine Media Association (EMMA); EMI; European Newspaper Publishers' Association (ENPA); European Publishers Council (EPC); Federation of European Publishers (FEP/FEE); International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI); International Video Federation (IVF); Mediaset; Motion Picture Association (MPA); Reed Elsevier; Sony Music; Sony Pictures; The Walt Disney Company; Time Warner; Universal Music Group International; Warner Music International. Since its creation in November 2004, the Creative and Media Business Alliance (CMBA) has adopted a series of "Position Papers" and has contributed to various public consultations launched by the EU institutions on topics relating to the development of the Information Society and of a competitive knowledge-based economy. These written contributions can be retrieved at http://www.cmba-alliance.eu/papers.htm.

The CMBA notably calls upon the European Commission, the European Parliament and the EU Member States to focus on the creative and media businesses in their joint efforts to foster innovation, growth and employment in the Information Society. The sectors represented by the CMBA are more than a mere driver for technology development or an "added value" to the European Digital Agenda. They are the true value of the Information Society. Since its creation in November 2004, the Creative and Media Business Alliance (CMBA) has adopted a series of "Position Papers" and has contributed to various public consultations launched by the EU institutions on topics relating to the development of the Information Society and of a competitive knowledge-based economy.

As an informal coalition, the CMBA does not have any budget of its own. Expenses (e.g., running a website/mailing-list) are covered on an ad hoc basis by CMBA members individually. The trade associations holding the CMBA's rotating secretariat on a six-months basis do not charge other CMBA members for potential costs associated with the provison of meeting rooms and the secretarial function itself is assumed on a voluntary basis. Potential extraordinary costs (e.g., organisation of a dinner/conference/seminar) would simply be split among CMBA members.
