"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the goals of the agreement are all highly commendable and it should therefore be adopted. However, we cannot forget the big social question that cuts across this sector: a trade that improves the quality of its product, offers fair prices and develops the industry cannot fail to bring about an improvement in the economic status and living conditions of 5.5 million smallholders and the 14 million workers who depend on cocoa production. Since the European cocoa industry is the biggest in the world, we must urge our processing companies to commit to fighting the exploitation of children and for a sustainable and fair cocoa supply chain. That is what this resolution sets out to achieve and that is why it deserves our support."@en1
