About Us

In May 2003 the EU-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EUMCCI) emerged from the former European Union Business Council (EUBC).

EUMCCI is a public non-profit organisation and is not funded by the EU. The Chamber is financed by projects, events, memberships and corporate partnerships.

It is an umbrella organisation of all EU chambers of commerce and business councils, whose members are also EUMCCI members, altogether approximately 1200 corporations.

Our Mission

To promote, support and develop EU business interests in Malaysia as well as facilitate trade, commerce and investments between EU and Malaysia. In order to fulfill its mission, EUMCCI carries out activities that will catalyse and stimulate networking of European companies in Malaysia with the Malaysian business community, business associations, relevant ministries, official representations and other Chambers in Asia. These activities are balanced between social and business activities.

EUMCCI Committees - Strong Lobbying Tool

The EUMCCI Committees are platforms for EUMCCI Corporate Partners within specific sectors. The Committees meet regularly to discuss issues affecting their particular industries, to hold seminars with guest speakers from the government, academia and business and to lobby the government. Each committee is responsible for writing a Trade Issues and Recommendations paper outlining the most pressing business problems and recommendations for the government to reduce these issues. Every year all Position Papers drafted by the Committees are compiled into a “EUMCCI Trade Issues & Recommendations” paper. This document is circulated among Government administrations, relevant authorities in Malaysia and the European Commission in Brussels.

At the moment EUMCCI has 14 committees. More information about these committees can be found by clicking on ‘Committees’ in the main menu.
