"Mr President, I voted in favour of this resolution because child labour in West African agriculture is a highly sensitive topic, the proportions of the phenomenon being difficult to estimate in figures. Widespread poverty, conflicts and poor harvests in recent years have aggravated the situation. Last year, tensions in Côte d’Ivoire led to 200 000 tonnes being blocked in production and increased prices by up to 9% per day on the Euronext Paris stock exchange.
Now, the EU is dependent on cocoa imports from countries such as Ghana or Côte d’Ivoire, but trade relations should not be an obstacle to cooperation with Interpol in this area, particularly regarding trafficking of minors. Moreover, large-scale implementation of the concept of fair trade would ensure a decent standard of living for parents and the chance of an education for children."@en1
