The term EUROVISION, invented-by pure chance-only a few years ago,
is now familiar to millions. What the name covers is the subject of
this paper. EUROVISION is not the name of an organisation or
company, but rather an emblem. It signifies international
co-operation in television programme exchanges within the framework
of the European Broad casting Union - or rather the most
spectacular element of that Co-oper ation. It appears conspicuously
at the head of programmes relayed by several countries. To
understand the full extent of this co-operation, it is best to look
at the wider field covered by the structure and working of the
European Broadcasting Union itself. The European Broadcasting Union
is a professional association, grouping Western European
radio-television organisations as active members, with
organisations in other continents as associate members. It is
financed by contributions from its members. Questions of principle,
management and financial responsibility come under the
Administrative Council or the General Assembly (from which it is
elected) - in which the Directors-General of the several
organisations are represented. The present Chairman is M. RoDIN6 of
Italy who succeeded M. RYDBECK of Sweden. Four Committees are
responsible for preparatory studies and routine problems: the
Legal, the Technical, the Programme and the Sound Broadcasting
Committees, which group the specialist Service Directors.
by B. LANDHEER The Grotius Seminarium has as its purpose the study
of international problems under the aspect of "living and
cooperating in one world." Its Conference of May 30-June 2, I96I on
"Limits and Problems of European integration" attempted to view
European integration within the framework of this general goal as
is somewhat implied in its title. "The limits of European
integration" lie in the necessity of fitting it in the wider
framework of international cooperation, while its problems lie in
the various interpretations and concretizations of its own goals,
ab out which there are a number of different viewpoints. It could
be stated that the European is faced with three sets of problems:
the creation of a more unified world as a global problem; the
regional integration of Europe; and, thirdly, the continuation of
more strictly national interests. It is not justified to assume
that these three circles of interest are automatically
complementary: they are often antagonistic, and a "philosophy of
integration" would have to arrive at a structural presentation of
those various values and of tbeir interrelatedness. While it is
obviously not possible for a small Conference to give those
problems their full weight, it is nevertheless hoped that the
essays combined in this volume raise a number of relevant questions
and contribute to the elaboration of some more concrete problems.
The Conference on "Ethical values in international decision making"
was held by the Grotius Seminarium in the period June 16-20, 1958
at the Institute of Social Studies in the Hague. At that time, a
number of papers were distributed to the par ticipants while -after
the Conference -two brief reports appeared in "De Internationale
Spectator" (1958, I, p. 426-435) and in "Research and Education in
the Netherlands" (September 1958, Vol. II, no. 3, p. 18-21). As
considerable time has elapsed since, this Booklet does not give a
"report" on the Conference, but rather it attempts to recapture its
spirit and to elaborate some of the problems which were discussed.
The introductory "Remarks" do this in an indi vidualistic manner
for which the author alone is responsible, but it is hoped that
this way of presenting the topic of the Conference anew will
rekindle the interest of the original participants while it may
attract others and give them an impression of what the Grotius
Seminarium is trying to do. In addition, those of the papers which
dealt with the more general aspects of the Confer ence's topic are
presented in this booklet. B. LANDHEER December, 1959 TABLE OF
