Tripoli Chamber holds virtual meetings to hasten ISO certification for Libyan fish exports to EU
The Tripoli Chamber of Commerce held virtual meetings yesterday devoted to Libya obtaining ISO certificates to allow the export of marine products directly to the European Union. Tripoli Chamber said this comes within the framework of its efforts exerted to support the export of marine products to global markets. The virtual meetings were led for the Chamber by its Chairman Anwar Abu Sitta, with the Italian interlocutor of the WestMed Blue Economy Initiative of the European Union and the 5+5 Group, Leonardo Manzari, where the meeting focused on marine activities, fisheries and marine economy. The meeting also included Masouda Abu Arousha, the national interlocutor of WestMed Organization of the European Union, and in the presence of Ali Al-Shaqrouni, Chairman of the Libyan Maritime Bloc, and Zakaria Franca, Advisor to the Libyan Italian Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was devoted to how Libya obtains ISO certificates, issued by the European Union, to allow the export of marine products directly to the European Union countries and also on the extent of the participation of Libyan companies in the projects proposed by the European Union for human development and training, and how to support small and medium enterprises for entrepreneurs specialized in this sector. Communication with concerned government agencies to be intensified The meeting agreed to intensify communication with the concerned government agencies to facilitate the process of implementing international standards to complete the conditions required by the European Union to obtain the ISO certificate that allows the export of Libyan products to Europe. This would open the way for local exporters to export to the EU directly by legal means, which contributes to raising the value and development of this vital sector to diversify the level of national income. It was noted that ISO is an international certificate of standardization that sets global standards for various industries and sectors. ISO certifications include quality, safety, efficiency, and environmental standards. Upon obtaining ISO certification, it is recognized that an individual or organization adheres to specific standards that ensure the quality of work and services.

Africa's cynical master of power politics
For the moment there is not much to see in Bugesera, a district replete with verdant bush 45km south of Kigali, Rwanda's capital. But it is the site of what Paul Kagame, the president of the central African country of 14m people, views as a legacy project. If all goes to plan there will soon be an airport complex, financed largely by Qatar, that he hopes will aid the transformation of Rwanda from, in 1994, the blood-drenched scene of a genocide to an African emirate—a hub for commerce and a draw for tourists keen to snap the gorillas that lurk in the country's mountains. Mr Kagame, a fan of Formula One, wants to host what would be Africa's only circuit.
