lpv:translated text	"I strongly defended the resolution aiming to combat child labour in the cocoa sector. Indeed, this sector requires a sizeable workforce, and a large part of this is made up of children. I have come back from Burkina Faso where many children are sold to work in the cocoa plantations, and this is outrageous and unacceptable. While the resolution recognises that producers face strong pressures to keep labour costs down, it calls on cocoa growers and processors, governments, traders, producers, and us as consumers of chocolate, to live up to their responsibilities in combating forced child labour and trafficking in this sector. In order to effectively combat cocoa-based products derived from child labour, we have sought to encourage those countries that are signatories to the agreement reached at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to act to guarantee traceability along the entire supply chain."@en1
