NATIONAL SOVEREIGNITY SHIA’ Science MALIKI Shariah HANAFI HANBALI SHAFII’ Ummah Industry
Four main challenges 1.
Getting consensus from industry and government 2.
Harmonising certification bodies 3.
Overcoming unresolved issues 4.
Sharing of basic infrastructure
1 st challenge: Getting consensus Getting consensus from industry and government: Dichotomy of interests (consumer vs industry) Secular vs Dogmatic Cost management
2 nd challenge: Harmonising Certifying Bodies – Benchmark standards (e.g. ISO/IEC Guide 65) Incorporate Tayyiban into the standard Food safety measures (HACCP, GMP) Food safety & quality management (BRC, SQF, IFS, ISO22000, ISO9001) Fair trade - ensuring fair transactions Islamic finance Developing halal policy within each organisation Establishing in-house halal committee Waste Management & Environment care (ISO14000) Continuous education and training on halal matters Workers health & safety (OHAS18001) Animal welfare Corporate social responsibility (SA8000, BSCI, FLA) Traceability system
3 rd challenge: Resolving critical issues Overcoming unresolved issues Stunning Mechanical slaughter Doubtful raw ingredients
4 th challenge: Collaborating Sharing of basic infrastructure Halal testing labs Training schools – auditors, managers, skill workers etc.
Promotion and marketing tools Mutual recognition
Moving Forward Engage with the stakeholders Consumers – the Ummah Industry – manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers Certification bodies Governments & authorities of Multilateral Institutions (e.g. EU) Institutions of higher education Leading Islamic scholars Develop the draft standards Divide up the standard into 10 modules Invite countries to become secretariat for Technical Committees of each module Map out timeline Draft standard to be ready by May 2009 for start of public enquiry period, insyallah
