lpv:translated text	"I voted for the report on child labour in the cocoa sector. The International Labour Organisation estimates that more than 215 million children worldwide are engaged in child labour. West Africa accounts for 70% of global cocoa production, with approximately 7.5 million people working in cocoa production in this region. Cocoa farming is very labour intensive during harvest seasons and producers face strong pressures to keep labour costs down. At peak times, all family members, including children, are involved in this process. Studies carried out in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire highlight that children working on cocoa farms are exposed to different types of danger. I urge the Commission to 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 and social standards, and that these standards are enforced, accompanied by measures to be applied in the event of infringements."@en1
