Ukraine joins the MEDIA strand of the Creative Europe programme

Today, Ukraine joins the Media strand of the Creative Europe programme, which supports the audiovisual sector by funding selected projects related to film development and distribution, online and TV content, as well as the creation of innovative tools and business models in the audiovisual industry.

Ukrainian organisations may now apply to all relevant calls for proposals under the Media strand of the programme, as well as future ones.

Following Ukraine's request last year to participate in the MEDIA strand, and after assessing the country's media legislation, the Commission has today signed the amendment to the existing association agreement that will allow for Ukraine's full participation.

The agreement was signed by Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen for the Commission and Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna for Ukraine, during a ceremony which took place this afternoon in Brussels.
