yes the BBC is one of the founder members of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) and a major contributor to its funds.
This allows the BBC access to all the Members Television Facilities and services so enabling the BBC to be an European Leader in News, Sport, Weather and Occasions.

Wasn't there something in the news about Eire winning two years running and desperate not to win a third year because they couldn't afford it?
