position of the EDIA President.

becoming the President of EDIA will have a positive impact of Ekranas AB efforts in 

fighting the unfair competition from Southeastern Asia.   



EDIA is an independent association, a member of an umbrella-type European Electronic 

Components Manufacturers Association (EECA). The mission of the EECA and EDIA is 

to defend the interests of the electronic components industry and strengthen 

the competitiveness of the Association members in the global marketplace. 

One of strategic objectives of EECA and EDIA is to influence the European Commission 

in order to protect the European market from unfair competition.

there are such famous companies as Sony, Samsung, Thomson, AB „Ekranas“, Vidox,
