Openet attended, as a shareholder, the twenty-first annual COPEAM conference, the Permanent Audiovisual Conference of the Mediterranean. At the 2014 annual meeting, which saw the participation of more than 260 delegates from over 27 countries, we discussed the need to rethink the practical cooperation between public broadcasters in the Mediterranean, a region that has more need than ever for dialogue and for cooperation aiming at overcoming its difficult economic and political problems.
