Words from the President

The economic context is very difficult this year. Consumer credit is frozen in many countries, investments are retained, companies reduce their activities, massively lay off, some will go bankrupt. Microsoft has announced closures of 5000 jobs. It is a signal that does not deceive. Faced with this extremely serious crisis, which will last one year or more, how SMEs in multimedia products and services will they survive? To innovate, we must have funds available, therefore, sell, access to venture capital, or to get public aid in research. When the consumption falters, while private investors are retreating, will the States go to spend a few million billions they throw in the battle to rescue small businesses of digital technologies? Nothing is less certain. They are not the electoral weight, they do not have the strength to cry, nor the means to lobby.

Yet, they are normally created in the more quality jobs and bring the new economy to the innovation that will make the international competition.

More than ever, States have a responsibility to support this emerging strategic industries. The digital infrastructure is now as important as roads, rail, aviation, telecom. There are digital technologies in all sectors of activity: science, technology, economics, finance, education, health, cultural industries. Investing in digital is supporting all industries. And with a very small share of that vote billion wherever possible to revive the economy, it has a lever versatile, whose effectiveness is demonstrated.

Faced with the crisis, it is in digital priority the need to invest.

ECOSOC

 

 

FIAM in Special consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations

The International Federation of Multimedia Associations (FIAM) has been granted a Special consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. Non-governmental, non-profit public or voluntary organizations may be admitted into a mutually beneficial working relationship with the United Nations by attaining consultative status with the Economic and Social Council.This status is based on Article 71 of the Charter of the United Nations and on ECOSOC Resolution 1996/31 adopted in 1996.

The rights and privileges enumerated in detail in ECOSOC resolution 1996/31, enable qualifying organizations to make a contribution to the work programmes and goals of the United Nations by serving as technical experts, advisers and consultants to governments and Secretariat. Sometimes, as advocacy groups, they espouse UN themes, implementing plans of action, programmes and declarations adopted by the United Nations.

In concrete terms this entails their participation in ECOSOC and its various subsidiary bodies through attendance at these meetings, and also through oral interventions and written statements on agenda items of those bodies. In addition, organizations, qualifying for General Category consultative status, may propose new items for consideration by the ECOSOC. Organizations granted status are also invited to attend international conferences called by the U.N., General Assembly special sessions, and other intergovernmental bodies.

FIAM is then entering a new role of collaboration with its member associations, with the aim of developing a series of work cells in as many sectors concerned by the multimedia and digital interactive content. There is in our network all the know-how and capability needed to help the United Nations bodies across the word in our areas of expertise.
