"Question No 12 by Lennart Sacrédeus ():
The United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, has voiced its concern that child trafficking affects 200 000 children in West Africa, with the cacao industry accounting for a substantial number of them. Child labour and trafficking in human beings is on the increase. The cacao plantations mainly use boys, who often have to carry out the heavy work of harvesting the cacao beans. The working day for these children is up to 15 hours long. This is not only a question of child labour; these children are also sold as slaves among the various cacao producers.
What is the Council's response to these reports and what initiatives does it intend to take? What action does the Council intend to take in relation to the West African countries concerned and the cacao industry?"@en1
