"I consider it important to strongly condemn the use of child labour on cocoa fields. All stakeholders involved in growing and processing cocoa beans and their derivative products – namely, governments, global industry, cocoa producers, organised labour, non-governmental organisations and consumers – must live up to their respective responsibilities in terms of combating all forms of forced child labour and trafficking, share expertise and collaborate towards a sustainable cocoa supply chain free from child labour. Real changes can be delivered only through global cooperation addressing the root causes of child labour. The Commission must ensure policy coherence in all its initiatives, namely, those related to trade, development (in particular, as regards children’s access to education), human rights, public procurement and corporate social responsibility, and to encourage the exchange of best practices between the different economic sectors in which child labour occurs. The Commission must 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, social and environmental standards and the enforcement of those standards, accompanied by measures to be applied in the event of infringements."@en1
