"Today, at the plenary session in Strasbourg, we voted on a resolution on child labour in the cocoa sector and Parliament gave its consent to a new international agreement on cocoa production and trade that will also provide effective tools for tackling the problem. Many children working in the cocoa fields in fact are engaged in dangerous activities, such as exposure to pesticides and child trafficking.
The agreement should also introduce accredited third party-audited traceability and require signatories to collect and analyse data through appropriate studies in order to provide clear statistics about the exploitation of minors in the cocoa production sector. As the world’s leading consumer of cocoa and host to many chocolate manufacturers, the EU cannot ignore such injustice and has to take steps to ensure that production is lawful."@en1
