[3] EMO’s main policy consists in setting up a specific EU Programme for music. As coordinator of the European Music Platform, EMO develops music
cooperation projects responding to the EU calls for proposals. The EMO is an international non-profit association
promoting musical diversity and representing the interests of European music professionals at a European and worldwide level.
The European Music Platform was created in 2004, in order to run the first ever implemented pilot projects co-financed by the European Union in the field of music. Most members of the Platform are national music export organisations and national music information centres.
During 2005 – 2006 these Pilot Projects were supported by the European Commission as experimental actions in the following fields:
Support to live music
- European Talent Exchange Programme (ETEP).
- European Tour Support (ETS).
International promotion
- Pre-development of a US Office in New York.
- Feasibility study for an office in China.
Exchange of information
- EMO Export Handbooks
