As revealed by journalist Matthieu Belliard in Europe 1, since December 2022 The Algerian government designated the Grand Mosque of Paris as the only entity authorised to certify the halal status of food exported from France.. This measure, which was subsequently extended across the entire European Union, has drawn criticism from business leaders, European institutions and various French MPs, who regard it as a monopolistic practice and an opaque source of revenue.

Meat, dairy and processed foods under religious supervision

The rule affects especially meats, cured meats, dairy products and ready meals, who need the certificate to enter Algeria halal issued by this single institution. The cost of certification can amount to up to 15 euro cents per kilogram of meat, a figure that may seem modest, but when applied to the large volume of exports it amounts to a substantial source of funding for the Mosque.

Without this seal issued by the Mosque, the products cannot pass through Algerian customs. where they once again pay the duties of the Algerian state. And all of this, according to various voices, has resulted in a hidden and compulsory fee that turns the mosque into the logistical, economic and political axis of a country. The outcome of this activity, which appears to be religious, is estimated to have generated annual revenues of €2.2 million.

MEP François-Xavier Bellamy, quoted by The Figaro, it says clearly:
“It is unacceptable to condition European exports on the payment of a kind of tax that doesn't call itself by its proper name, and even more serious that this money goes to a private company..”.

Criticisms of opacity and geopolitical risk

Bellamy, who led the Republicans (LR) candidate list in the last European elections, has denounced on his official X (formerly Twitter) account that The Paris Mosque makes all European companies that want to export to Algeria pay.“ per certificates “that are not even officially recognised as valid” within the European Union.

According to him, this system not only imposes millions of euros on European farmers and industrialists, but rather it poses a genuine security problem, especially because of the close link between the Mosque and the Algerian regime.

Formal request to the European Commission

Faced with this situation, Bellamy went to refer the case to the European Commission, demanding an immediate response. Claim transparency about the destination of the money raised and that it is guarantees the freedom of trade within the European internal market, without submission to religious conditions or interference from other states.

The European Commission has already expressed its concern, pointing out that this measure Breaks the principle of free competition within the Schengen area.. France, despite being a driving force behind the system, has also come under pressure from affected economic sectors.
