You mean Sven and his team?
I think so - but I need to check on the EBU website.
Put it this way - if you want a slick tv production, you'll be wanting to get the team thats filmed and directed the last 3 shows in a row.

Yep, Morroco entered it one year.
Israel entered last year as well

As such all EBU members can chose to enter - and the EBU includes many Middle-Eastern and some North African countries ISTR?

Oh my goodness how IRRITATING is that Flash animation of pictures whilst the song plays?! Some of those photos I recognise from the picture postcards that came with CD2 of Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit! Presumably she doesn't look quite the same any more.
Anyway the song is OK, very in-keeping with Eurovision but I'm not sure it's winning material. Ooh Aah was loads better and that still didn't manage a win!

Yep - if you have no in-house team with the experience and resources to produce and crew such an event you couldn't go far wrong.
However if France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Norway, Denmark etc. or any of the more "TV"-experienced countries won they'd do their own thing, as the BBC did in 1998. (Many still thank that the 1998 Birmingham contest set a benchmark that many of the following contests haven't managed to meet - AND it had a full orchestra still! Meaning you still had the potential to be disqualified if your conductor conducted the song too slowly and you went over time. Not something that happens when you sing to a pre-recorded track)

The ten seconds I've already heard was ten seconds to long. And what's with soft focus pic, we all know she's a pig ugly slapper who can't sing/act/hold a career or indeed speak!
Apart from that she's a lovely lass! LOL!

Not to mention the potential nightmare of rumours of a live pan-European protest by a couple of psudo-lesbian Russian teenagers a couple of years ago.
I was watching the live webfeed from the OB truck on that night, and whilst the other 22 countries performances had all the shot cuts pre-mapped out - which reduced Sven to mearly reading out the camera changes off a script upto the voting - when it came to Tatu's performance, he freewheeled it and chose all the shots 'on the fly'.
You mention Denmark as a country that would use and produce it's own event. You know, I've got a feeling DR used SVT OB's back in Copenhagen 2001.

Think DR may have used SVT OB facilities (though some years SVT have used non-SVT OB facilities - like Team Jelbe and also YLE have provided some) - but I'm pretty certain that most of of the production team for Copenhagen in 2001 were from DR rather than SVT.
I know the Swedish team provided a lot of assistance - basically producing the events and coverage - in Latvia and Estonia - and produced the TV coverage (but I think TRT provided a lot of crew and facilities?) in Turkey. Think Denmark may have been a bit lower key though.
