lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this European Parliament resolution because we must strongly condemn the use of child labour in cocoa fields. The use of the worst forms of child labour in the growing and harvesting of cocoa beans is unacceptable. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has estimated that more than 215 million children worldwide are child labourers engaged in activities that should be abolished. The European Parliament calls on all stakeholders involved in growing and processing cocoa beans and their derivative products – namely, governments, global industry, cocoa producers, trade unions, non-governmental organisations and consumers – to live up to their respective responsibilities in terms of combating all forms of forced child labour and trafficking, to share expertise and to collaborate towards a sustainable cocoa supply chain free from child labour. The European Commission should ensure that all trade agreements include effective provisions on poverty reduction and the promotion of decent work and safe working conditions, along with legally binding clauses on internationally agreed human rights, social and environmental standards and their enforcement, accompanied by measures to be applied in the event of infringements."@en1
