The Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel is an independent government authority created by virtue of the Law of 17 January 1989 in order to guarantee broadcasting freedom in France as set forth in the Law of 30 September 1986, as amended. The Conseil consists of a nine-member Board (Collège) whose members are appointed by presidential decree for six-year terms. Three of the members, including the Chairman, are selected by the President of the Republic, three others by the Chairman of the Sénat and the remaining three by the Chairman of the Assemblée nationale.
The CSA is renewed by thirds every two years and the office of Conseil board member may not be held at the same time as any other elected office, public servant office, or any other professional activity.
