欧洲出版商理事会(European Publishers Council，EPC)成立于1991年，宗旨是倡导媒体的言论自由，保护市场竞争环境，在欧盟国家内促进多元化和民主的发展。理事会与各国的立法者建立联系，以确保法规环境对传统和新兴媒体的持续性发展有益。

理事会不属于行业协会组织，它是由欧洲各主要传媒公司的领导人组成的高层组织，这些公司的出版业务涵盖报纸、杂志、图书、网络以及在线数据库，其中一些成员还经营商业电视和广播。

What We Do

Since 1991, Members have worked to review the impact of proposed European legislation on the press, and then express an opinion to legislators, politicians and opinion-formers with a view to influencing the content of final regulations. The objective has always been to encourage good law-making for the media industry.
