"According to the International Labour Organisation, it is necessary to distinguish between two forms of child labour. Nothing should preclude children or adolescents from engaging in work that does not harm their health and personal development and does not overlap with their schoolwork. The problem is not who works, but under what conditions. Forced child labour on cocoa plantations in Africa is as bad as the modern slavery of adults in factories producing mobile phones and computers. By purchasing chocolate without a certificate of origin, we support inhumane treatment just as much as if we buy electronics with components that are made in China. We hurt people who have no choice, but we also harm ourselves, because in the unfair battle to reduce production costs, Europe cannot – and I hope, does not want to – win."@en1
