First Middle Eastern country to export dairy to EU

The Emirates Industry for Camel Milk & Products (EICMP), producer of the leading camel milk products 'Camelicious', announced that the UAE and Dubai have received final approval from the European Commission as per Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 to become the first country in the Middle East to export dairy products to the European Union.

The EU Commission ratified the camel milk safety plan presented by EICMP (Camelicious) and confirmed its compliance to the EU's food safety and health guidelines, making Camelicious the first Middle Eastern dairy factory to export its products to the 27-country Eurozone.

EICMP's achievement was a result of the close and fruitful cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) and Dubai Municipality, both of whose support was crucial during the five-year-long process, issuing and amending regulations and guidelines to comply with those of the EU Commission with respect to camel milk production as well as health and safety guidelines in the food manufacturing industry.
