PRESENTATION
Née le 8 décembre 1970, la CCFA est un élément important du dispositif qui concerne les relations économiques et commerciales franco-arabes.
Créée sous l’impulsion de la Ligue des Etats Arabes et d’un ancien ministre du Général de Gaulle, la CCFA est organisée sur une base institutionnelle strictement paritaire qui en fait sa singularité et sa force par son partenariat avec les organisations économiques des pays arabes. Elle est soumise au droit français et régie par la loi 1901 sur les associations.
Established in 1970 as an association governed by the Law of 1901 and the Law of November 12, 1956, which regulates the use of the designation “Chamber of Commerce,” the Franco-Arab Chamber of Commerce is a mixed and joint consultative assembly. Its mission is to promote and develop trade relations as well as industrial, financial, tourism, and agricultural cooperation between French and Arab economic operators.
Membership in the Chamber is open to industrial and commercial enterprises, banks, liberal professions, chambers of commerce, and employers’ organizations from France and Arab countries.
In accordance with the Chamber’s statutes, the President is of French nationality, while the Secretary General, responsible for the executive functions of the Chamber, is of Arab nationality. The members of the Board of Directors are elected on a parity basis by the Ordinary General Assembly.
The Chamber’s geographical jurisdiction covers France and the 22 member states of the League of Arab States, namely: Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Morocco, Mauritania, Palestine, Qatar, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen.
Following the Board of Directors’ meeting on June 2, 2016, Vincent Reina was elected President of the Franco-Arab Chamber of Commerce for a first three-year term. He was re-elected in June 2019 for a second term and again on June 8, 2022, for a third term (2022–2025).
In January 2022, Mr. Abdulhakeem Al Kalifah was appointed as the new Secretary General.
