The European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) is an industry association working under the umbrella and legal entity of the European Electronic Component Manufacturers Association (EECA). The association represents and promotes the common interests of the European-based semiconductor industry towards the European Institutions and other stakeholders in order to ensure a sustainable business environment and foster its global competitiveness.
Its mission is to:
1. debate and take into account all the questions of common interest
2. coordinate on trade rules, Digital Single Market, environmental and safety rules on a European basis
Since 1997, ESIA represents the European Semiconductor Industry in the World Semiconductor Council (WSC). Together with the semiconductor industry associations of China, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea and the United States, ESIA shapes the agenda of the WSC. The Joint Steering Committee (JSTC) of the WSC meets three times a year.Main EU files targeted

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
