Policy issues affecting the European electrical and electronic industries are dealt with at director’s level within Orgalime's Committee of the Electrical and Electronic Industries (CEEI).
CEEI, represents the views of its national trade association members in the electrical and electronic engineering fields as defined by chapters 29.7; 30; 31; 32 and 33 of NACE Rev1:
EE Sectors by NACE codes
2004 announced a much needed recovery for industry. Three years of decreased production was followed by an increase in output by 4.8%. Recovery was limited, however, and the level of production for the industry is still below that of the average for the year 2000.
Foreign trade was the main contributor to the high growth of output and exports increased by 10%. Extra EU sales were particularly strong.
The electrical, instrument and ICT engineering industry is expected to reach an output growth of some 5.1 percent in 2006. Finland is forecast to achieve double-digit growth rates in 2006 and output will grow considerably in Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and above average in Sweden, whereas output growth is below average in Slovenia, Norway, UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. Intra EU trade has been buoyant in 2006 and is expected to grow by 9.3 percent in volume for the sector as a whole.
The outlook for 2007 is still rather positive for the sector as a whole and the volume of production is expected to expand further, but at a slightly lower rate than in 2006 - by 3.3 percent. Some countries expect the growth rate to be unchanged, but the majority expect to see a slowdown or even a significant decrease in growth.

Key technical or internal market issues are monitored closely by the Technical Co-ordination Committee (TCC) and various task forces, in close co-operation with a number of European product sector associations, so as to reinforce the joint advocacy potential of the industry on regulatory and standardisation issues of common interest.
