"Since the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, all agreements covering fields to which the ordinary legislative procedure applies are subject to Parliament’s consent. This includes the EU’s common commercial policy, of which the Cocoa Agreement 2010 forms part. This International Cocoa Agreement 2010 replaces the existing 2001 agreement and aims to create conditions for a fairer and more sustainable global cocoa trade by stepping up international cooperation between producers and consumers within the framework of the International Cocoa Organisation (ICCO). It improves market transparency by enhancing the role of the ICCO in collecting, processing and distributing data, and its cooperation with industry and non-governmental organisations. This new agreement sets out clear objectives for a sustainable cocoa economy, recognising the importance of economic viability and of social and environmental responsibility at all stages of the value chain. It also recognises the need to ensure fair cocoa prices and equitable returns, as well as to promote the quality of cocoa and develop food safety procedures. For these reasons, I voted for this recommendation that Parliament approve this agreement."@en1
