CHAMBER

<p><strong>The ICC WCF International Certificate of Origin Accreditation Chain (CO Chain) was created in September 2012 based on international guidelines to which chambers can adhere on a voluntary basis. It represents ICC WCFs commitment in its push for global harmonisation in the issuing process of COs.</strong></p> <p>Having signed the ICC WCF CO Protocol, chambers guarantee that they will commit to the highest level of quality, implementing transparent and accountable verification procedures. Accredited chambers will then receive a distinctive internationally-recognised quality label, reinforcing their integrity and credibility as competent trusted third parties in the issuance of COs, which appears next to their chamber stamp on the CO Form.</p> <p><strong>The Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Beirut &amp; Mount Lebanon</strong> can now benefit from the use of ICC&rsquo;s internationally-recognised CO label.&nbsp;</p> <p>This certified mark assures banks, businesses, customs administrations and traders that their COs have been issued according to the utmost stringent and harmonised certification standards, based on the ICC WCF International CO Guidelines.</p>

The up skilling imperative: vocational training and the new offer of BSOs’ services

<h3><strong>ABOUT THE PROJECT</strong><br /> <br /> <span font-size:="" open="" style="color: rgb(72, 72, 72); font-family: ">The territories involved in the ENI CBC Med Programme suffer from high unemployment rate and low participation of women in the labour market. At the same time, job growth is hindered by the low penetration of digital innovation in Mediterranean territories which hampers the capacity of small enterprises to find access to know-how or venture capital for innovation. With the aim of providing training in digital skills to women and know-how about digitalization approaches to businesspeople, INTERNISA will combine training in the digital sector with professional development in the agri-food, textile, tourism and financial sectors. To reach its objective, the project will develop online and offline services addressed to women and employers providing training curricula and personal consulting. Project activities will culminate with interventions related to match-making of labour demand and supply through an online platform and job fairs to foster contacts among job seekers and employers.</span></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>KEY INFORMATION</strong></h3> <div apple="" class="row " color="" font-size:="" helvetica="" segoe="" style="box-sizing: border-box;

<p dir="RTL">لطالما شكّل إتحاد غرف التجارة والصناعة والزراعة في لبنان على الدوام دعامة اساسية للقطاع الزراعي في شتى المجالات من خلال الغرف المتواجدة في مختلف المناطق اللبنانية ولم يتوان يوماً عن تقديم المؤازرة للعاملين في هذا القطاع وفي الدفاع عن مصالحه. فالقطاع الزراعي هو الشغل الشاغل للجنة الزراعة لدى إتحاد الغرف اللبنانية التي تصب جهودها بالتعاون مع كافة الجهات المعنية لا سيما وزارة الزراعة ومؤسسة ايدال وتجمعات المزارعين ونقابة مستوردي ومصدري الخضار والفاكهة والمنظمات الدولية وذلك سعياً لتنظيم وتنمية هذا القطاع. ولقد ساهم إتحاد الغرف اللبنانية على مدار السنوات في وضع الخطط والبرامج لدعم الانتاج الوطني وتعزيز حركة التصدير وتسهيل مشاركة المنتجين والمصدرين في أهم المعارض الدولية المتخصصة. ومن أبرز المبادرات التي شارك الاتحاد في تنفيذها، تنظيم مؤتمر النهوض بالقطاع الزراعي في لبنان، المساهمة في الحملات الوطنية لتسويق التفاح وزيت الزيتون اللبناني، دعم مشاركة الاتحاد اللبناني للكرمة والنبيذ في المعارض الدولية وتنظيم الجناح اللبناني في المعرض الدولي للخضار والفاكهة في برلين Fruit Logistica .</p> <p dir="RTL">وفي هذا الإطار، أكّد رئيس لجنة الزراعة لدى إتحاد الغرف اللبنانية روفائيل دبانه خلال لقاء أجريناه معه على أولوية الشأن الزراعي بالنسبة للغرف اللبنانية باعتباره ركيزة أساسية للأمن الاقتصادي والاجتماعي والغذائي في لبنان. ويدخل العمل الزراعي في قلب الاهتمامات والانشطة التي تقوم بها الغرف المتواجدة في جميع المناطق اللبنانية وعلى مختلف الصعد التقنية والاقتصادية.</p> <p dir="RTL">بذلك توفر الاجهزة والدوائر الزراعية لدى غرف المناطق مهام وخدمات مباشرة للمزارعين والمصدرين تشمل المشورة الفنية والفحوصات التقنية للتحقق من جودة المنتجات وتطوير الاصناف وتوفير المعلومات حول فرص التصدير المتاحة في الاسواق الخارجية والمواصفات المعتمدة فيها. كما تشارك الغرف في المبادرات الوطنية والبرامج الدولية للتنمية الزراعية الهادفة لتعزيز قدرات العاملين في القطاع وخلق فرص العمل، ومن أبرزها برامج التعاون مع الاتحاد الاوروبي ووكالة التنمية الاميركية. كما أشار الى مشروع تعزيز الصادرات الزراعية مع دولة هولندا ويشمل تدريب الخبراء وتطوير الخدمات لدى الغرف في مجال التصدير عبر وكالة تنمية الواردات من الدول النامية CBI.</p> <p dir="RTL">أما لجنة الزراعة لدى الاتحاد، فهي تؤدي دوراً محورياً في تنسيق التعاون بين الغرف وكافة الجهات المعنية في القطاعين العام والخاص لمتابعة المواضيع الهادفة الى تنمية القطاع وتطوير الانتاج والتسويق وتعزيز دور القطاع الزراعي في الإقتصاد الوطني. ولقد أدى هذا التعاون الى نشر الوعي حول أهمية هذا القطاع لدى الجمهور والقطاع العام وعلى ضرورة مؤازرته نظراً لارتباطه المباشر بالامن الغذائي والتوازن الاجتماعي والحفاظ على البيئة.</p> <p dir="RTL">ومن أبرز الأنشطة التي قامت بها لجنة الزراعة، المشاركة في تنظيم &quot;مؤتمر النهوض بالقطاع الزراعي في لبنان&quot; في شهر أيلول من العام 2019 الذي تم بالتعاون مع وزارة الزراعة وإتحاد ?النقابات الزراعية<span dir="LTR">?</span> ومجموعة الاقتصاد والاعمال<span dir="LTR">?</span>، وتضمن لقاءات وورش عمل بين المعنيين في مختلف المجالات الزراعية أدت الى صدور توصيات وخطة عمل وطنية. ولقد تم التحضير لهذا المؤتمر بعد سلسلة اجتماعات مع النقابات والجمعيات والتعاونيات الزراعية في مختلف المحافظات، تم خلالها تحديد المشاكل والمعوقات التي تواجه المنتجين والمصدرين.</p> <p dir="RTL">وشملت توصيات المؤتمر مواضيع ومقترحات اساسية سبق أن تم تداولها من قبل لجنة الزراعة مع الجهات المعنية ومن أبرزها، السعي لتطوير الانتاج الوطني من خلال اعتماد أصناف ومواصفات عالية الجودة، وضع القوانين لتنظيم القطاع وحماية الانتاج مثل تعليق العمل بإتفاقيات التبادل التجاري وزيادة الرسوم الجمركية على المستوردات الزراعية والغذائية المنتجة في لبنان ومكافحة التهريب. كذلك، أوصى المؤتمر بإنشاء السجل الزراعي وتنظيم مهنة المزارعة وتشجيع الاستثمار الزراعي من خلال الحوافز وتوسيع رقعة الاراضي الزراعية والتركيز على زراعة وتصنيع القنب لأغراض طبية. ومن التوصيات الاساسية الاخرى، اعتماد سياسة مائية مرتبطة بالتنمية الزراعية الشاملة، تنظيم عمل اسواق الجملة للخضار والفاكهة وإنشاء شعبية في المناطق، تأمين الحماية الاجتماعية للمزارعين وإصدار قانون ضمان ضد الكوارث الطبيعية.</p> <p dir="RTL">&nbsp;</p> <p dir="RTL">&nbsp;</p>
