Free-zone officials hold constructive discussions with Jafza

DUBAI, May 08th, 2011 (WAM) -- Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority ( JAFZA ) recently organised a Strategic Forum for leading players in the Chemical, Oil and Gas sector in the free zone. The Forum is part of a series of industry-specific events launched by Jafza earlier this year, designed to create strategic dialogue with top industry executives on sector-specific issues. Jafza hosted a similar event for its clients in the Logistics sector, in March this year.

With 400 companies in all, the Chemical Oil and Gas Industry forms an important part of the growing Jafzabusiness community. Senior officials from premier companies in the free zone like Petrochem Middle East, Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Middle East Lubricants among others attended the Forum. Representatives from Dubai Customs, DP World, Environment Health and Safety (EHS) Department, Dubai Municipality and other partners of Jafza also participated in the event.

The Forum aimed to provide insight into trends and market dynamics shaping business prospects and also to create a platform for genuine exchange of ideas on how Jafza can work together with industries to collectively find ways to enhance competitiveness and make the operating environment within Jafza even more enriching for those companies.

Each session was highly focused on areas close to the sector, allowing each participant to voice individual queries, concerns and suggestions to enhance operations further. Participating companies discussed federal rules, regulations, customs, duties coordination of various Government entities, Ministries and regulatory bodies and internal free zone processes to improve efficiencies.
