lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I supported the report because the chocolate purchased by us European consumers is frequently produced in questionable ways, using child labour. We know that the cocoa plantations in West Africa, in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, produce almost all the world’s cocoa, which is the main raw material for chocolate. The European Commission and the European External Action Service should monitor developments in these countries very carefully and ensure that the EU does not establish trade relations with countries that engage in the worst forms of child labour. The use of child labour in the cocoa sector is also an indication of the huge socio-economic and political challenges that we still face. This is not just a matter of the social responsibility of European companies: the European Union is a community of values based on human rights, and that is why we cannot accept the flagrant use of child labour – in the cultivation and harvesting of cocoa beans, for example."@en1
