“Its mission, as described in Article 2 of the E.E.I.G’s formation agreement, is “to conceive and produce television programmes which (…) are cultural and international in character and conducive to promoting understanding and cooperation between Europe’s nations and to broadcast these programmes or to authorize their broadcast”. This joint television channel should bring French and German citizens closer on a cultural level and promote cultural integration throughout Europe. In addition to broadcasting all its programmes in French and German, around 1800 programmes per year of ARTE’s programmes are available in six languages on arte.tv.”
