en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Global Electronics Association commends the European Commission's release of the "Chips Act 2.0," viewing it as a significant step toward the EU's technological sovereignty. As a key component of the technological sovereignty package, this legislation marks a major move by European policy toward rebuilding the electronics ecosystem from silicon to systems.

John W. Mitchell, President and CEO of the Global Electronics Association, stated that sovereignty is security, and the EU is taking a critical step toward greater technological independence, consistently keeping pace with industry developments. Association members need a regulatory environment that empowers electronics companies, and this proposal creates an environment where they and their customers can thrive.

The legislation extends support from semiconductors to strategically important areas such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), while strengthening support for IC substrates and advanced packaging. It aims to build a more sovereign and competitive European electronics industry to serve Europe's strategic sectors.

Alison James, Senior Director of European Government Relations at the Global Electronics Association, noted that the association has advocated for this comprehensive electronics ecosystem approach for years, including in recent industry reports and stakeholder meetings with the European Commission. She expressed gratitude for the Commission's collaborative leadership and its commitment to equipping Europe's economy and strategic industries.
