European countries are exporting food to Muslim countries and importing food that will be consumed by their Muslim minority. Currently there are several initiatives by Muslim countries to further tighten the requirements for the imports of halal certified products to their countries.
Moreover, demand by non-muslim consumers is increasing as wholesome, hygienic and contamination-free principles in food production creating consumer confidence (similar to organic food). Contamination should be avoided throughout the supply chain from “farm to fork” and has led to Halal Logistics initiatives.
There has been also an initiative in Europe to define a European standard for halal products. Unfortunately this initiative has failed, because it was not possible to find a common ground for such a standard among different national and independent organizations involved and in combination with inconsistencies within the religious community.

This paper tries to explore, if there is a market requirement for halal logistics in Europe. Furthermore it wants to answer the following research questions:
• What is the importance of the Islamic economy – especially the sector of halal food?
• What does halal mean?
• What are current standards for halal logistics?
• What is the current state of halal logistics in Europe?

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING -APPLICATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY

As opposed to the conventional Subtractive Manufacturing that uses cutting, drilling, milling, welding etc., 3D printing is a free-form fabrication process and does not require any of these processes. The 3D printed parts are lighter, require short lead times, less material and reduce environmental footprint of the manufacturing process; and is thus beneficial to the aerospace industry that pursues improvement in aircraft efficiency, fuel saving and reduction in air pollution. Additionally, 3D printing technology allows for creating geometries that would be impossible to make using moulds and the Subtractive Manufacturing of drilling/milling. 3D printing technology also has the potential to re-localize manufacturing as it allows for the production of products at the particular location, as and when required; and eliminates the need for shipping and warehousing of final products.

RAPP is based on principles taken from the Israeli method of passenger profiling and suspicious signs published by the United State Department of Homeland Security. RAPP is challenged with the plot of 2010 to bomb an all-cargo airplane using explosives concealed in printers originated from Yemen. The core competence of RAPP is individually assessing the risk of each shipment by a qualified agent, who looks for suspicious signs and anomalous patterns and addressing the level of risk by adjusting appropriate technological resources for detecting the explosives. RAPP allows less screening of cargo and makes the security process of air cargo more active. The combination of the human factor and the right technological resources enhances the level of success in securing air cargo.

The current status quo and disputes of the air travel tax in Germany and in Europe are explored and recent decisions by the European Union Grand Court and the European Commission with regards to the tax are given. The paper contributes to the existing literature by analyzing the role the tax has on possible distortion of competition in Europe and argues that airlines with a point-to-point business model are placed at a competitive disadvantage with respect to their hub-and-scope counterparts, when the tax is reasoned to encourage environmental balanced behavior in air travel.

Verschiedene Studien belegen, dass im europäischen Vergleich in Deutschland das Potential, insbesondere bei gut ausgebildeten Frauen, nach wie vor nicht ausgeschöpft wird. Diese Studie soll Aufschluss darüber geben, inwieweit die Unternehmenskultur, d.h. die in den Unternehmen vorherrschenden Werte, Normen, Einstellungen, Überzeugungen sowie Verhaltensweisen und Prozesse, sich günstig oder hemmend auf die Karriereperspektiven von Frauen auswirkt. Im Rahmen der Studie werden exemplarisch in einem deutschen Großunternehmen kulturelle Wirkungskanäle identifiziert, die einen hemmenden oder fördernden Charakter auf die Karriere von Frauen in diesem Unternehmen haben.

The under-representation of female executives in the aviation sector is even worse. In this context our research hypothesis is that the representation and acceptance of women in management positions is determined by corporate culture.

Various studies confirm that, in a European comparison, well-educated women’s potential in Germany is still not being fully exploited. The study presented here provides an insight into how women and men perceive corporate cultural aspects such as relationships and networks, employee development, staffing and recruitment as well as the presence of women in the workplace with regard to their career prospects. The study is based on an online survey of (potential) managers in a large German company.
