UAE to Host SMIIC Summit On Halal Products

Jul 2, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (ESMA) has joined hands with Dubai Industrial City to host the fourth and fifth meetings of Standards and Metrology Institute for the Islamic Countries (SMIIC) to discuss halal food and cosmetics issues.

The UAE which chaired the Technical Committee of Halal Food has co-ordinated with the Technical committee members and experts in the Islamic countries, to set and develop standard specifications for halal products according to one and accredited application, to ensure that halal products are safe and guaranteed.

Abdullah Al Maeeni, the acting director general of Emirates Authority for Esma, said: “All halal providers must apply to the provision of their products to be aligned with the requirements of religious legitimacy. The objective of standardisation is to develop and implement technical standard which is an established norm or requirement about technical systems.”

“We are trying to make the requirements applicable and easy to understand and standardise the level of all countries in the world. Furthermore, the requirements must be based on the origins and foundations of Islamic sharia,” he added.

Al Maeeni said the meetings this year were held under the sponsorship of Dubai Industrial City, to address the requirements of accreditation and standardisation.

He stressed that in order to ensure products are compatible with halal standards; there must be specialised body in all countries to supervise and monitor the production process, from processing to inspection and testing.

Dubai Industrial City CEO Abdulla Khalifa Belhoul said: “We established The Halal Cluster, the first of its kind in the region, to be dedicated to the halal sector. Spread across an area of 6,771,781 million square feet, Halal Cluster is aimed to be a base for companies that seek to invest in halal food, cosmetics and personal care products.”

“Hosting SMIIC meeting in Dubai is considered an important step to stress on the importance the development of legislation to meet the needs and requirements of the market and be able to compete with global markets,” he said.

“Additionally, these meetings will enhance the operations in our Halal Cluster in Dubai Industrial City in the future, and accordingly strengthen Dubai’s position in this sector across the world,” he added.

The technical committees of halal food and cosmetics who are meeting these days also seek to establish and develop standard specifications and specific requirements for the issuance of Halal certificates.

The legislative system which is being discussed during the meetings is based on three key elements that include; halal products, halal certification bodies and accreditation bodies. This system aims to ensure that the process of obtaining halal products is comprehensive.

The UAE has become the focal point of the global halal industry, with ESMA mandated by Organisation of Islamic Co-operation to formulate new halal regulations and codes for food, and cosmetics and perfumes to be implemented in all Islamic countries.

The country has already made many achievements to date, including hosting the SMIIC meetings, to be a regional and global leader in this important industry.

Taiwan International HALAL Expo 2014

Jun 20, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

HALAL TAIWAN 2014 – Taiwan International HALAL Expo 2014 will be staged during June 25-28, 2014 at Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) Exhibition Hall 1. The organizer is Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA).

Last year, it’s reported that HALAL TAIWAN 2013 provided 43 booths, attracted 33 exhibitors and a total of 65,123 visitors attend to the expo, among 58,535 domestic visitors and 6,588 international visitors.

Exhibits Scope:
All Halal Certified Products

ORGANIZER’S PROFILE:

Name: Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA)
Address: 5-7 Fl., 333 Keelung Rd., Section 1, Taipei 11012, TAIWAN
Tel: +886 2 2725 5200

Founded in 1970 to help promote foreign trade, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) is the foremost non-profit trade promotion organization in Taiwan. Jointly sponsored by the government, industry associations, and several commercial organizations, TAITRA assists Taiwan businesses and manufacturers with reinforcing their international competitiveness and in coping with the challenges they face in foreign markets.

Differences between TAITRA and the International Trade Association of the ROC

I. To clarify confusion between TAITRA with the International Trade Association of the Republic of China, we have listed chief areas of function and structure where the two organizations differ:

1. Attribute: TAITRA is a non-profit trade promotion organization jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, industry associations, and several commercial organizations while the International Trade Association of the Republic of China is a private civic organization.

2. Organization: TAITRA’s board of directors consists of representatives from government authorities, special members assigned by the government and members from industry associations. Government and industry associations are directly involved in TAITRA’s operation while the International Trade Association of the Republic of China is a private civic organization composed of individual members, and government or industry associations are not involved in its operations.

3. Function: TAITRA functions under the supervision of government authorities, legislative institutes and industry associations. Its annual budget is within the fiscal budget plan of government in accordance with the budget law which is examined by the Legislative Yuan. Such accountability dictates that TAITRA have a comprehensive management and supervisory system, while the International Trade Association of the Republic of China is a private civic organization whose management and supervisory systems greatly vary.

II. In order not to confuse TAITRA with International Trade Association of the Republic of China and to protect the clients of TAITRA clients, please note:

1. TAITRA believes that the “Client Comes First” and as such treats clients with respect and sincerity. Our staff attempt to let clients understand the service function of TAITRA and provide related information. We refrain from overly aggressive or rude actions to rush clients into signing contracts or make payment.

3rd Int’l Halal Conference and Expo 2014 To Be Held In Pakistan

May 17, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

LAHORE: UNIVERSITY of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS) Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Talat Naseer Pasha has said UVAS and the Punjab Halal Development Agency (PHDA) are jointly organising “3rd International Halal Conference and Expo 2014” at the International Expo Centre Lahore on 22-23 May, 2014.

Addressing a press brief in this regard on Thursday, the VC said the objective of the conference and expo was to introduce Pakistan Halal products to the international markets and conduct a technical training of professional human resource working in the local Halal industry.

Prof Pasha said Pakistani Halal products were very popular in their taste and quality across the world but their marketing and branding were not being done properly. He said the conference being arranged in collaboration with the Halal Research Council, USAID-TAP, Punjab Agriculture and Meat Company and Livestock and Dairy Development Department Punjab would help provide Pakistani Halal products access to the world markets. He said over 30 international meat importers from various countries, including The United States, Malaysia, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain were expected to participate in the conference and expo.

Vice Chancellor Prof Pasha said the conference would be a best opportunity to introduce Pakistan Halal products to the international participants and consequently to the international markets.

He said a one-day workshop would also be arranged in which halal value chain experts would present their research papers. He said UVAS was producing professionals direly needed in the Halal industry. With special reference to meat, UVAS has recently established the Department of Meat Science and Technology to cater to the needs of industry in the area of modern meat processing and hygiene.

He also said the lack of worker’s skills was a constraint to produce valuable quality cuts for current and future markets.

In future, the Vice-Chancellor said development of skilled manpower was going to be a continuous challenge, requiring a multifarious approach to deal with.

“UVAS realised this challenge and started a three-tier meat industry-training programme for managers, supervisors and workers in cooperation with TAP-ASF USAID.” In this programme, mangers and supervisors from leading processors and exporters were trained as per international processing and hygiene standards. He said UVAS had also established a meat-processing lab where a series of advanced level trainings on meat processing and value addition would be executed in the future. He said UVAS had certified food microbiology, pathology and quality operations labs equipped with most modern technologies, which would play an active role in the capacity building of Halal meat industry.

To a question, Prof Pasha said India was the second largest Halal meat exporter in the world. To another question, UVAS VC said poultry meat was safe and there was a need to address misconception about the same.
