During the Mipcom fair held in Cannes at the beginning of October, the Franco-German cultural broadcaster ARTE announced that it would in future be making joint productions with the BBC. An increasing number of co-productions will be made in the next few years, particularly documentaries on cultural, artistic and social themes. As a result, the ARTE network, which unites various European public broadcasters through association and co-operation agreements, now includes an English-language representative.
