THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ESSENTIAL OILS AND AROMA TRADES 10 Industry Support An important component of IFEAT’s activities is the support and funding of research into scientific and technical activities, which are seen as potential benefits for Members. This support has taken a variety of forms and as IFEAT has built up surplus funds, so investment into research and industry support activities has grown. For example, in recent years, IFEAT has been funding two important projects. Funded Projects In recent years, IFEAT has been funding two projects: The Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) program; and the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) project. FEMA/IOFI Support Project Established in 1960, FEMA GRAS program, is the most extensive and longest-running industry GRAS program. The International Organisation of the Flavor Industry (IOFI) and IFEAT are jointly funding and driving an ongoing project to conduct GRAS re-affirmations of approximately 250 Natural Complex Substances (NCS). RIFM Support Project IFEAT and RIFM are collaborating on a project to assess the safety of selected Natural Complex Substances (NCS) following the updated RIFM Criteria Document. Indeed, a review of the RIFM database identified the need to generate additional data on several NCSs for the genetic toxicity endpoint to provide significant and important information for the assessment of these materials. The final study reports and data resulting from these studies are included in the RIFM database. All IFEAT Members needing these study reports for a regulatory submission or similar uses will have unrestricted access. Detailed information on all of IFEAT’s education and industry support can be found on the IFEAT website at: https://ifeat.org/education
11 THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ESSENTIAL OILS AND AROMA TRADES Conciliation The IFEAT Conciliation Service is a Member service available to help Members trying to resolve problems or disputes between themselves and either other IFEAT Member companies or Non- Member companies. It is not a legal court or a formal arbitrary institution as it is based on the goodwill of the interested parties – IFEAT Members who want to avoid formal procedures and are willing to use conciliation to find agreement on a friendly basis using good business practice. Consisting of a select group of individuals, who are experienced and respected members of IFEAT, the Conciliators consider the problem and, with the information and facts provided by both parties, do their best to propose an appropriate solution. Procedure • IFEAT Members apply to use the service via the IFEAT Secretariat who then liaise with the Chairman of the Conciliation Committee • The Conciliation Committee selects a minimum of two Conciliators from its Committee and informs both parties of the names of the Conciliators • Once the Conciliators have been accepted and appointed, each party submits their case in writing together with all supporting documentation • The Conciliators attempt to settle disputes in a friendly and efficient manner between IFEAT Members or, where possible, between IFEAT Members and Non-Members Conciliators The Conciliation Committee Members are selected by the IFEAT Executive Committee and are senior, respected Members of IFEAT, known for their understanding of the industry with proven experience in business and trading. The Executive Committee supervises and is responsible for maintaining the list of suitable Members of the Conciliation Committee, which consists of not less than three Members selected from Members of the Executive Committee. The Conciliators are chosen from the Members of the Conciliation Committee and, once agreed on by the parties, act strictly on their own as individuals and do not represent or act on behalf of IFEAT. Conciliators are not responsible for any possible consequences, financial or legal, which may occur as a result of their conclusions or proposals.
