Customs Union with European Union (EU)


CUSTOMS UNION WITH THE EU (1995)

Turkey signed a Customs Union agreement with the EU, which covers industrial goods.

Main principles

Turkey will adhere to EU’s external trade policies (same tariff rates)

The end result was •The replacement of national regulations and standards with that of EU’s.

•Profound improvement in Turkey’s standardization, conformity assessment, accreditation, metrology, import controls and market surveillance policies, which was necessary to implement the

European system.

Quality Infrastructure in Turkey

ACCREDITATION

CA sector is open to private testing, inspection

and certification bodies. Turkey has designated

36 notified bodies.

Turkey had no accreditation institute. TÜRKAK is recognized for all fields of

accreditation under ILAC, IAF, and EA.

STANDARDIZATION

Limited number of international standards

were in force and TSE was not included in

the European standardization system

TSE has harmonized 98% of EU standards and

become full member of CEN/CENELEC.

CONFORMITY

ASSESSMENT

The sector was backwards, CA was

conducted as a public service

No notified bodies (CE Marking)

METROLOGY Confusion about the roles of different

institutions responsible for scientific,

industrial and legal metrology.

Clear-cut divison of labor between relevant

institutions in accordance with the European

Union.

1995 2016



Consequences of Legislative Alignment with EU

• Turkey has substantially replaced its national regulations and standards with that of

EU’s.

• Profound improvement in Turkey’s standardization, conformity assessment,

accreditation, metrology, import controls and market surveillance policies, which was

necessary to implement the European system.

• In the sectors for which Turkey has aligned its legislation with that of the EU, a

product lawfully manufactured and/or marketed in Turkey should be treated equal to

the EU originating products. (Blue Guide, p. 23).

• The same reasoning would apply in the non-harmonised sectors where Turkey has

aligned its legislation with Articles 34-36 TFEU. (Blue Guide, p. 23).



Use of international Standards and Guides

Standardization is a key element to push up the capacities of export.

It is a necessary process for ensuring effectiveness in any product.


The international standards are

strategic tools that reduce the costs

by minimizing waste and errors.

In WTO TBT agreement, the use of

international standards and

membership of ISO are strongly

recommended. In preparing national standards depending on international standards, national adaptations

deriving from differences in geographical and climatic factors and technological level of the

industry are taken into account to the extent that original international standards allow.

The harmonization process is based on ISO/IEC Guides, European Directives (CEN

and CENELEC), and Turkey’s TBT and SPS Agreement commitments.

Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)

11

A vast platform for Islamic world for cooperation on development and properity.

The second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations (UN).

57 Member States spread over four continents.


(Significant Trade Potential)

There is an exceptional room for cooperation among OIC States : Potential progress in many sectors

The Halal Market – Present and Future

1.8 billion: Number of Muslims living all around the

world

$850 billion: Trade volume of goods subject to halal

certification

$ 1,4 trillion: Potential global trade volume of food

sector subject to halal certification.

$ 2,4 trillion: Potential global trade volume of all sectors

subject to halal certification.

$6 billion: Size of helal certification market

FOOD COSMETICS TEXTILES SERVICES




Different certification schemes, logos and procedures:

United Kingdom Australia Ireland

And so many others...

America Asia Malaysia

The Halal Market – Present and Future

Problems:

• No common standards in Muslim

countries

• Inadequate mutual recognition of

certification.

Indonesia Brunei

Accordingly, about %60 of Intra-OIC trade

(mainly food sector) could be subject to halal

certification



Standarts and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries

Contributing to free circulation of goods between member States, thereby designating common standards or harmonizing standards which may singly affect the trade between member States adversly,

Establishing a common certification process between member States, particularly the mutual recognition of certificates; with the aim of facilitating trade of input goods, manifactures and products,

Harmonisation of metrology, laboratory testing and standardization activities between member States,

SMIIC Technical Committee’s

(Standardization):

• TC 1 Halal Food Issues

• TC 2 Helal Cosmetics issues

• TC 3 Service Site Issues

• TC 4 Renewable Energy

• TC 5 Tourism and Related Services

• TC 6 Agricultural Processes

• TC 7 Transportation

Metrology SMIIC Metrology Commitee (MC) is established to aid in achieving uniformity in metrology and laboratory testing amongst OIC member states. Accreditation Accreditation Committee is responsible for implementing accreditation standards, performing peer assessment activities and issuing related certificates.


Members: 32 from 57 OIC countries and

their standardization, metrology and

accreditation bodies. (Turkish Standards

Institute, National Metrology Institute and

Turkish Accreditation Agency for Turkey)

SMIIC Halal Standards


SMIIC has already completed the necessary works to lay the foundations of this global halal certification scheme, via three crucial documents:

SMIIC is nowadays about to conclude the work on the accreditation

scheme encircling these standards, as a result of the work of its member

OIC countries

14


SMIIC Accreditation System


SMIIC ACCREDITATION COMMITEE (AC)

(consisting of Member Countries)

SMIIC AC is the unit carrying out activities aimed at the establishment of an accreditation scheme in the OIC Member States.

SMIIC AC is responsible for establishing a sound accreditation system OIC-wide

-

This Committee shall be responsible for implementing OIC/SMIIC accreditation standards, performing peer assessment activities and issuing related certificates.

-

Accreditation Committee shall provide the world wide recognition of accreditation certificates and protect against unfair uses.

Mutual Recognition of Certificates

Accreditation of Certification Bodies

15


Actions

1- OIC States that have not yet become a member of SMIIC to join it.

2- Active and valuable engagement in the preparation/revision of halal standards.

3- Accepting and adopting OIC/SMIIC standards as national standards by all OIC Members

Supporting SMIIC with a view to ensuring that SMIIC standards are adopted as international standards.

Supporting SMIIC AC establishing a sound accreditation system OIC wide. This shall enable the recognition of halal certificates. SMIIC AC has already made major progress to conclude necessary work.

As Members of OIC; taking joint actions in international era in the fields of halal standard, certification and accreditation and unify our initiatives within the framework of SMIIC.


These are very crucial in order to put into practice the mutual recognition of halal certificates.

Different initiatives and approaches will undermine our joint efforts under OIC as Islamic

societies.

Conclusion and Remarks

18 The Ministry of Economy of Turkey

To effectively eliminate technical barriers to trade, the development of «quality infrastructure» is essential among OIC members because it is a prerequisite for the efficient and effective development of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures.

Enhancing the quality infrastructure of OIC Countries will contribute to growth of export volume and economic development in the region. It has been vital to take steps in order to establish a powerful standardization infrastructure between OIC member countries.

To facilitate trade, the compliance with international standards and participation in international standards bodies are necessary and recommended.

Halal standards exist in many Islamic Countries and certification according to those Halal standards contradicts the idea of removing technical barriers to trade among OIC Member States and entire world. SMIIC is the competent and effective entity for establishing a common standard and certification scheme amongst OIC member States.

Turkey is ready to extend its efforts to realize cooperative activities with the aim of exchanging of information and experience on technical legislation, facilitate the solution of technical barriers to trade, and provide a basis to develop technical cooperation between the parties' bodies responsible for standardization, accreditation and metrology.
