EIA: a new initiative in relations with Europe<\/p>\n
The European-Indonesian Association (EIA) comprises chambers
\nof commerce and business associations of the European Union (EU)
\nmember states in Indonesia. It was inaugurated on April 5 1999 in
\nJakarta by the Rt. Hon. Sir Leon Brittan, Vice President of the
\nEuropean Commission, and the Indonesian Minister of Trade and
\nIndustry Rahardi Ramelan.<\/p>\n
In his address at EIA's launch, Brittan expressed the hope
\nthat the EIA will further strengthen relations between Indonesia
\nand the EU. EIA is chaired by Luigi Carlo Gastel of the Italian
\nBusiness Association in Indonesia. The vice chairmen are John
\nArnold of the Indonesian-British Business Association, and Dr.
\nFritz Kleinsteuber of the German-Indonesian Chamber of Commerce
\nand Industry.<\/p>\n
One of its objectives is the promotion and development of
\neconomic, commercial and business relations between Indonesia and
\nthe European Union. Other EIA objectives include establishing and
\noperating a European Business Information Center (EBIC) in
\nJakarta and cooperation with other organizations.<\/p>\n
The EIA also aims to promote economic, commercial and business
\nrelations between Indonesia and the European Union and its member
\nstates; and to undertake any other activities incidental to the
\nabove objectives, e.g. queries in regard to market access
\nquestions etc. The EIA will also act as a steering board for
\nEBIC, while EBIC will play the role of a secretariat for the EIA.<\/p>",
