30 submissions from 30 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission received 219 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 30 from organizations. Not shown: 180 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. Also not shown: 9 organizational submissions with no quotable text (a comment under 250 characters and no readable paper). About this data →
Who showed up
25 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 2 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions. That is 12.5 industry submissions for every one from civil society.

Air Liquide welcomes and supports the EU Chips Act Package released on February 8, 2022 to ensure European strategic autonomy and leadership in semiconductor manufacturing by doubling Europe’s share in semiconductor production capacity to 20% by 2030 (that means to increase by 4 times the manufacturing capacity vs today).
IPC commends the European Commission for its Chips Act proposal, and we welcome the opportunity to share our perspectives on strengthening the European semiconductor supply chain and the wider electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) welcomes the proposal for an EU Chips Act and thanks the Commission for the possibility to comment on it. As the largest vendor of servers in the world, HPE is in a key position to support the development – and export – of EU-manufactured technologies and products containing EU-produced components, including semiconductors.
Kalray’s views on the proposal for a European Chips Act Kalray thanks the European Commission for the opportunity to provide feedback on the European Chips Act package. Kalray welcomes the ambition of the Chips Act to bolster the Europe’s production and design capacities by addressing short and longer term issues in the supply of chips to the region and by attracting investments.
The aeronautics, defence and space ecosystem is crucial for the European Union connectivity and its strategic autonomy and sovereignty. Electronics are critical components for these sectors. Chips are, for instance, key elements of the energy performance of aircraft and engines and are essential for the optimisation of flights (trajectory management computers) contributing therefore directly to the green transition…
ZVEI welcomes the European Chips Act (ECA). Now is the right time for Europe to become globally competitive for investments in semiconductor technologies. The ECA addresses necessary issues regarding strengthening Europe’s competences in the microelectronics ecosystems as well as state aid for capacity building, while also introducing far-reaching and unprecedented market interventions which ZVEI deems to be not…
ASD welcomes the proposed European Chips Act, which has the potential to strengthen Europe’s position in the global semiconductor value chain and its security of supply. This can enhance the EU’s resilience, strategic autonomy, technological sovereignty, and industrial competitiveness.
The proposal for a Regulation ‘establishing a framework of measures to strengthen the European semiconductor ecosystem’ (8 February 2022) provides for ‘the conditions for strengthening the Union’s industrial innovation capacity’.

Absolute disapproval, it’s totally against humanity! like all EU proposals. Go to shame and settle in the pedal of power and hatred. We are not your property and we will never be! We are free human beings, which have their pride, heart, strength and common sense, which you have a sociopathy and psychopathy that is above the other evidently missing!

Summary • CLEPA welcomes the proposed EU chips act regulation. The act could foster public and private investment in R&D, chip design and manufacturing capabilities. Investments should build on current strengths in automotive chip design and enhance the EU’s chip manufacturing base.
Secure Enclaves make it possible to do cloud computing at a cloud provider you do not trust. But this requires trust in the CPU. Therefore EU should prioritize building CPUs to make it harder for foreign intelligence agencies to put a backdoor into these. It is a matter of national security. In this note PROSA explains why secure enclaves are important for achieving effective digital sovereignty.

WACKER is a world leading and Europe’s only producer of polysilicon which is the key raw material and first step in the value chain of semiconductors (and PV). WACKER’s electronic-grade polysilicon is a hyperpure material (99,999999999%) used for the manufacturing of wafers and chips and thereby an enabler of all silicon-based semiconductor application.
Overall, we welcome the Chips Act proposal from the European Commission. It underlines the vital importance of semiconductor in every aspect of industry and daily life, and it shows that the current chips shortages have awakened Europe.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
