Ministry of Climate Change and Environment Introduces UAE’s Trading Partners to New Ministerial Resolution on Import of Live Animals, Products and By-products

Wednesday, 08 May 2019

The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) hosted two workshops for members of the diplomatic corps from countries that trade with the UAE to introduce them to Ministerial Resolution No. 335 of 2018 related to the import of live animals, their products and by-products.

Held at the MOCCAE headquarters in Dubai, the two workshops highlighted the legal implications of the resolution. MOCCAE officials also held an open discussion with the trading partners on the prerequisites for importing live animals, their products, and by-products.

His Excellency Eng Saif Al Shara, Assistant Undersecretary for the Sustainable Communities Sector and Acting Assistant Undersecretary for the Food Diversity Sector at MOCCAE, said: “The Ministerial Resolution No. 335 of 2018 serves the Ministry’s strategic objective of enhancing food diversity and sustainability through regulating the flow of inbound animals.”

He added: “We aim to keep stakeholders well-informed of new developments to ensure their compliance with our resolutions. Introducing our trading partners to the UAE’s new import regulations will significantly reduce the number of rejected and violating consignments, and eventually boost trade as well as trade figures.”
