The General Assembly of the European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) expelled TASS from the organization without notifying the Russian agency or explaining the reasons.
After a secret vote, TASS was expelled from EANA, the organization's website said. In February 2022, the governing body, the EANA Council, informed TASS that it was suspending membership of the agency.
During the EANA assemblies in 2022 and 2023, the issue of excluding TASS was raised, but not enough votes were obtained. It was decided to suspend TASS's membership in the alliance without formal expulsion.
