[01] EANA con'f on hi-tech, intellectual property

The conference, held at a southeast Athens seaside resort, was attended by some 60 presidents, general directors and other senior officials of the association's 30 member-agencies.

The conference was opened with a greeting by ANA-MPA General Director George Tambakopoulos and EANA President Dr. Wolfgang Vyslozil, the president and CEO of the Austrian press agency Austria Presse Agentur (APA).

The focus of the presentations by delegates mostly revolved around ways of resolving problems created by new technologies in the sector of protection of intellectual property (texts, photographs, videos), and relations between news agencies and FIFA in the coverage of major sport events.

The second day of the conference will focus on the presentation of the annual "country reports" survey drafted each year by the ANA-MPA on behalf of EANA, which records developments in the sector of the mass media in the various European countries.

The final section of the seminar will include discussions on the changes in the manner of operation and targets of the alliance, which will be tabled at the EANA general assembly in September.
