Al Maeeni said the meeting witnessed deliberations on granting the Halal certificates to
Argentinian companies through four authorities, which apply the national system in granting

these certificates that are considered the first of their kind internationally.

They also explored the latest updates in the establishment of the Argentine National Centre for

Accreditation, which will be an authority that offers Halal accreditation services to the certificate
granting authorities in Argentina and Latin American countries.

He clarified that this Centre recently joined the International Halal Accreditation Forum, IHAF,

within the framework of the initiative of the Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai,
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to make the UAE the capital of

Islamic economy at the international level.

Al Maeeni mentioned that during the meeting there was also a discussion with the Director of
the Argentine Institute for Standardisation and Halal Certificate Granting about the means of co-

operation between the Institute and ESMA to harmonise the standard specifications of the
products distributed between the two countries. The aim is to facilitate commercial exchange

and remove technical obstacles to trade.

The UAE delegation held meetings with the delegations of Panama, Ecuador and Paraguay
participating in the World Trade Organisation's 11th Ministerial Conference held in the

Argentinian capital from 10th to 13th December.

They also spoke about the relations between the UAE and these countries and the mechanism
