"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are often unaware of the ways and means by which some products we use on a daily basis are made, and do not know that in some cases, these products are made through the work of more than 200 million children. Of these, 150 million are under the age of 15 and are involved in highly dangerous work. Unfortunately, the cocoa industry is one of those involved in this system of exploitation.
Stamping out child labour is a duty and a responsibility for all those countries and multinationals involved, which sometimes refuse to disclose their financial flows. In compliance with the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child and International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, I hope that the possibility of setting up a body to monitor production chains in order to combat child abuse and exploitation and to introduce a cocoa product traceability system will be taken into consideration."@en1
