WSC, I
WSC Council World (Semiconductor) is a non governmental international organization, members of the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, China Taiwan and China mainland six semiconductor associations, representing the world's semiconductor industry, more than 80% of the size and size of more than 95% market.
WSC held 3 meetings each year, the participants in the three meeting is not the same. May WSC will be the main participants in the CEO and chairman of the semiconductor companies. September GAMS meeting (with the government / Administration) by national / regional government / administration officials to attend. The 3 session of the working procedures of the association of the Secretariat of the report and the May annual meeting of the Council, the resolution of the Council during the annual meeting of the Council on the formation of the government authorities in September, the government urged the government to make feedback on the Council resolution.
In view of the international influence of WSC and China's position in the global semiconductor market, in the positive efforts of the various parties, the State Council, the Ministry of foreign affairs and the Ministry of information industry approval, China Semiconductor Industry Association in June 2006 to become the sixth member units of WSC.
WSC is an important mechanism for the research and development of the global semiconductor industry development policy, but also the national semiconductor industry competing for the interests of the stage. In the semiconductor industry as an important international communication platform, WSC WTO (WTO), the world customs organization important consulting suggestions. The resolutions of the board of directors not only have an important influence on the development of the international semiconductor industry and information industry, but also have a very important influence on the business activities of semiconductor enterprises in various countries.
WSC II meeting
WSC held 3 meetings a year:
WSC years (mainly in human the semiconductor company's CEO and chairman) will one day, the general is five in late Thursday.
- meeting of the government and the authorities (GAMS meeting, the main participants of the national / various government officials in charge of semiconductor) will be a day, usually in late September a Thursday;
- the staff meeting of the Secretariat (JSTC) will be held in WSC, GAMS, and three times a year in February, each lasting four to five days.
According to the issue of long-term and temporary, WSC is set to different working committees and working groups, the existing work committee and the working group are as follows:
1, IP Working Committee (Chairman: six member rotating)
2, ESH (environment, safety and health) Working Committee (Chairman: WSC chairman of the year)
Energy/QT Working Group ESH
PFC Working Group ESH
Chemicals Working Group ESH
3, the market working committee (Chairman: WSC chairman of the year)
4, MCO (integrated circuit) /MCP (multi chip integrated circuit) working group (President: Europe)
5, Certification Encryption & Regulations TF Licensing (mandatory certification and licensing regulations working group) (President: Europe)
6, and/or Import Regulatory Restrictions TF Export (export / import regulations restrict Working Group) (President: China)
7, Stimulus TF Regional (government incentive policy working group) (President: United States)
8, WSC 2 TF (meet once a year in September to) (the meeting of the WSC conference system) (President: rotating)
JSTC, WSC and GAMS meeting mainly discussed the work report submitted by the working group of the above working committee, GAMS and WSC can also be interested in the subject of JSTC, asked JSTC to do the relevant research and investigation. WSC at the annual meeting in May will be issued a joint statement WSC and to the government's policy recommendations, the GAMS meeting in September will be released GAMS chairman summary
In addition, WSC also released the six regional associations to coordinate the document, to become the global semiconductor industry development standards and standards, the past few years, WSC has released documents:
1, WSC member companies on the PFC gas (semiconductor front end of the gas emissions) voluntary emission reduction agreement
2, WSC "on the layout design method used in the use of improved automated design tools for the protection of the layout design of a copy of the behavior of the statement"
3, WSC submitted to the WTO on the semiconductor field of origin rules of the statement
4, WSC submitted to the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) to improve the semiconductor products in the national / regional patent office for patent quality
The most important is that the WSC to promote the government authorities in 2006 signed a multi chip integrated product free tariff agreement, WSC proposed multi chip integrated circuit (MCP) product definition, and promote the MCP tariff free agreement signed, and MCP agreement incorporated into the WCO (World Customs Organization) coordination system for more than one hundred countries.
