The purpose of the AIE is to act on behalf of the members in matters that cannot or can hardly be acted upon by individual members. This means that issues that the AIE decides to act upon should be in the interest of preferably all, but at least a significant majority of member associations. AIE can never pursue matters that are demonstrable contrary to the interest of one individual member association.

In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the mission of AIE is:

• To co-ordinate and promote the common interests of European electrical contractors.
• To monitor and influence the legislative and consultative process of the European Union
  relevant to the businesses of European electrical contractors.
• To facilitate the exchange of relevant information between members.

The general priorities of the association are:

• Monitoring and influencing the European Energy Policy, in particular regarding Energy Efficiency, Energy Services and Renewables (photovoltaics, wind and solar energy ...)
• Improving and promoting Electrical Safety in dwellings through inspection and maintenance
• Intelligent Homes, Assisted Living and ICT
• Follow-up of legislation and standardisation issues in the electrotechnical field
• The relations with wholesalers and the evolution of the technical industries in the context/framework of the general/main contractor
