what's the big deal about 26 new jobs that warrant a comment from the actual economy minister herself ? I thought being a minister she would have more important matters to worry about than personally welcoming a meager expansion of 26 new jobs.

It's because it's pretty rare to have electronics being manufactured outside of China. We had a lot of noise when Motorola started manufacturing the Moto X in USA too, even for a small factory. At this point, any assembly line not in China or at least not owned by Foxconn must be praised. Besides that, these specific Wales factory is pretty old and it's a big incentive to local economy.

Sad but true. BTW, the way Russia currently behaves, using its gas  to blackmail many EU countries and reduce their reaction to just empty words, should teach us once more we can't rely so heavily on just one country, much less a powerful and quite ruthless one.
