New head of Unit for MEDIA
by Vitor Pinto
Aviva Silver has just been nominated the new Head of Unit of the MEDIA programme of the E.U., taking up her new position on the 16th of December. Mrs. Silver was responsible so far for the horizontal aspects of the programme.
The current Head of Unit, Domenico Raneri, will assume new functions in the recently created Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, a new administrative structure which will replace the current TAO (Technical Assistance Office) from next January onwards.
Aviva Silver will be leading the MEDIA Unit in a period of transition. The new generation of the programme is supposed to be operational in January 2007, but after the partial agreement reached last month (read the article), the final budget of MEDIA 2007 still depends on the financial perspectives 2007-2013 (read the article), which will be discussed at the next European Council under the British presidency, to be held in Brussels next week.
