Verofax facilitates Egyptian EU Export with CBAM Compliance and Lifecycle Assessment Solutions

Egyptian Businessmen’s Association (EBA) convenes export symposium on February 9

The Egyptian Businessmen’s Association (EBA) convened a symposium on February 9, chaired by Engineer Majd al-Din al-Manzalawi, Secretary-General and Chairman of the Association’s Industry and Scientific Research Committee, to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), a law governing manufacturing standards for Egyptian exporters.

The Egyptian Businessmen’s Association (EBA) convened to discuss the importance of technology in keeping factories compliant with export requirements of the EU.

The symposium invited Mr Wassim Merheby, CEO of Verofax and a technology and AI (artificial intelligence) expert, along with Dr. Hossam Ezz al-Din, Director General of the Industrial Pollution Control Program at the Ministry of Environment, and several heads of specialized committees, to focus on the urgent need for Egyptian exports to align with the green economy principles outlined in the CBAM law.

The discussion emphasized the imperative for Egyptian exports to adhere to the green economy principles outlined in the CBAM law. Key topics included the integration of automated quality data, aggregated across supply chains to streamline compliance processes, access to finance opportunities with prominent European institutions, and enhancing industry performance to support a sustainable economy in Egypt.

Wassim Merheby of Verofax explains how Egyptian exporters could achieve greater profit and seize a greater share of the EU market through compliance with CBAM.

Merheby highlighted the timeline for compliance, noting that registration for the new EU export regulations system would commence on January 1, 2025, with full implementation scheduled for January 2026. Merheby urged Egyptian factories to adapt promptly to the new international legislation, to avoid export bans and hefty tariffs of up to 35%.

The symposium underscored the importance of automating the processes in exporting factories to efficiently meet carbon footprint standards, thereby enabling Egyptian exporters to provide high-quality and validated data. This automation is made possible through Verofax’s comprehensive Lifecycle Assessment Solution, which integrates over 130 systems, ensuring seamless verification of recycled goods, emission reductions, and quality data aggregation for exports to the EU.

Hossam Ezz El-Din, Director General of the Industrial Pollution Reduction Program at the Ministry of Environment, outlined the program’s objective to incentivize industries to adopt environmentally compliant and sustainable practices through finance packages of loans and grants, funded by the European Union.

El-Din elaborated on available financing programs, detailing two types of program: loans, and grants. The Central Bank of Egypt has directed these programs to local banks, including the Ibad program, valued at 135 million euros and expected to conclude by the end of the year. Additionally, a new program named Green, valued at 268 million euros, will commence in 2025, offering a grace period of one to two years and repayment over 5 years. This program also allows borrowing in foreign currency and repayment in Egyptian pounds.

The symposium concluded with a call for continued collaboration among government bodies, financing institutions, and industries to facilitate smooth transition towards environmentally compliant production practices, thereby ensuring Egypt’s competitiveness in international markets.

Blockpass Heralds Cutting Edge Compliance Automation – Advanced KYC Bot(TM)

Blockpass is proud to reveal a brand-new automation advancement that will see the KYC experience for its customers improved even further with the introduction of the Advanced KYC Bot(TM). Included as standard for all Managed Service add-on clients, the handy new bot will automate the KYC process even further, reducing the time and effort required for compliance by monitoring and processing flags to KYC profiles.

Also available on a standalone basis for Enterprise customers, the Advanced KYC Bot(TM) builds on the capability of legacy KYC Bot versions which automatically approve a KYC profile if there are no flags raised for it. If there are potential issues detected, the Advanced KYC Bot(TM) reviews and actions these via a remediation process which involves cross-referencing matching AML data, addressing any deficiencies in the documentation provided, and dealing with any issues arising from a blocked nationality. These new capabilities will reduce the time taken to address flagged profiles, whether due to issues with the data or user error in uploading or inputting information, which will ultimately lead to fewer issues or delays onboarding customers and an improved user experience of the whole process.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users. Currently, with around one million verified user identity profiles, Blockpass facilitates instant onboarding, and to date over a thousand businesses have taken advantage of this opportunity to get access to users, including those with unhosted wallets, with reusable digital identity profiles.

“We all know that regulation and compliance underpin a safe and responsible ecosystem for crypto and blockchain users, but the whole idea of Blockpass is to make the process faster, simpler, more efficient and less intrusive for both businesses and their customers,” said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. “Our tech department has been hard at work on this new development and we’re delighted to be able to showcase how it will innovate the KYC process for our customers even further. Not only that, but we also have further developments in the works that we’re excited to share with you in the near future.”

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations and legal developments have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass’ On-Chain KYC®, the only live zero knowledge solution for Crypto KYC, and Unhosted Wallet KYC(TM) solution finally enabling blockchains and DeFi platforms to have a compliance layer. For Animoca Brands and Yuga Labs’ Otherside NFT minting in 2022, Blockpass exclusively started the first zero knowledge KYC service where the delivery of the verification result is provably sent without sharing the underlying data.

Government Blockchain Association (GBA) Releases Voting Solution Assessment Model

The Government Blockchain Association (GBA) announces the release of the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) Voting Supplement.

“The Voting Supplement is a critical resource for governments, organizations, and developers worldwide, providing a comprehensive framework to ensure the privacy, security, and integrity of voting systems,” said Susan Eustis, Chair of the GBA Voting Working Group. “Its scope extends beyond government elections, making it applicable businesses, associations and other forms of governance, enhancing trust in democratic outcomes.”

The supplement is a roadmap for developers and administrators seeking to implement trusted election solutions. It augments the broader work of the GBA in establishing global standards and assessment methodologies to promote the adoption of trusted blockchain solutions.

“Standardizing blockchain technology is crucial because it provides a foundation for trust,” said Chandler, AZ City Councilman, Mark Stewart. “Blockchain, as an immutable database, ensures the integrity of data, making it reliable for tracking the chain of custody in elections. This step forward in standardization brings the technology into the next century, bolstering credibility.”

The Voting Supplement, available at https://gbaglobal.org/voting-resources, is a supplement to the BMM created by the GBA. The BMM serves as a global framework showcased by the United Nations’ Internet Governance Forum Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Assurance & Standardization and is now available for download on the Government Blockchain Association’s official website at https://gbaglobal.org/blockchain-maturity-model.
