"I voted in favour of this resolution. Forced child labour and child exploitation remains one of the greatest problems, particularly in less developed countries. Poverty, outdated farming techniques and child labour are widespread in cocoa cultivation. The European Parliament has, on many occasions, voiced concern over the exploitation of children in this sector. I agree that the EU must step up its efforts to combat this phenomenon, particularly by including provisions banning the exploitation of children in all trade agreements. We also need to guarantee that the EU consistently takes this position in all areas, particularly trade and development, in order to ensure the proper enforcement of human rights, and social and environmental standards, and that, if necessary, it imposes appropriate sanctions for failure to meet these standards."@en1
