The European Broadcasting Area - Any State which is fully or partially red on this map is entitled to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest

Reilly616:

To clarify, this is how it works:

• Active membership of the EBU is open to broadcasting organisations or groups of such organisations from a member country of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) situated in the European Broadcasting Area as defined by the Radio Regulations annexed to the International Telecommunication Convention, or a member country of the Council of Europe which is situated outside the European Broadcasting Area.

• Thus, if there is an active member of the EBU within a country which is fully or partially red on the map (or otherwise a member country of the CofE), that country may participate in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The European Broadcasting Area (EBA) is defined by the International Telecommunication Union as follows:

The “European Broadcasting Area” is bounded on the west by the western boundary of Region 1, on the east by the meridian 40° East of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30° North so as to include the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and those parts of the territories of Iraq, Jordan, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey and Ukraine lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting Area.
