S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The senior officer of the cosumable materials area of the Public Health & Safety Department of Dubai, Anas Abdul Raheem Al Khalifa, sees good business opportunities between Brazil and the United Arab Emirates in the cosmetics sector. He is in S\u00e3o Paulo this week to discuss regulation and procedures for liberation of sector product sales in his country.<\/p>\n
On Thursday (22), Khalifa participated in a meeting with sector companies, organized by the Brazilian Association of Toiletries, Perfumes & Cosmetics Industries (Abihpec), on Friday (23) he visited the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/b>, where he met the organisation\u2019s CEO, Michel Alaby.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have practically the same regulation (Brazil and Dubai), which reduces technical barriers,\u201d said Khalifa. That, according to him, opens doors for Brazilian companies to place their products in the Emirates and for companies from the Arab country to enter the Brazilian market, currently the second in the world for the sector, only behind that of the United Arab Emirates, according to Abihpec.<\/p>\n
Khalifa informed that this similarity is due to the fact that both countries use the European standard for sector regulation. The differences, in his evaluation, are minor and are mostly regarding product shelf life \u2013 Dubai wants packages to include product expiration after opened \u2013 and bar codes, used for tracing the product origin.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are the same specifications for ingredient mix, the same ones are allowed [in both countries],\u201d he said. \u201cIt is an opportunity for companies from the Emirates and Brazil,\u201d he pointed out, adding that the perfume industry in the Emirates has become well known internationally. In Brazil, the beauty and personal hygiene sector is among those that grow most.<\/p>\n
On Saturday (24), Khalifa should participate in the opening of the Hair Brasil fair, to take place in S\u00e3o Paulo. In late May, Brazilian companies are going to participate in the BeautyWorld Middle East, in Dubai.<\/p>\n
