The main aim of this regional cooperation organisation is to enhance the cooperation among the regulatory authorities of Central Europe. The CERF was established by a Memorandum of Understanding. It serves as a tool to address the challenges posed by the advent of digitalization with special regard to the prolific number of transfrontier audiovisual media services and should facilitate the handling of cross-border issues. The CERF holds one meeting per year at the invitation of a regulatory authority. CBR has hosted meetings of the CERF already two times: in 2012 in Bratislava and in 2016 in Košice.
