"I voted in favour of this European Parliament recommendation because the new agreement intends to bring more transparency and sustainability into a sector on which 50 million livelihoods depend throughout the world. The International Cocoa Agreement 2010 will replace the existing 2001 agreement to which the EU is a party. The new agreement will promote international cooperation in the world cocoa economy. This agreement should contribute to the strengthening of the national cocoa economies of Member countries, strive towards obtaining fair prices leading to equitable economic returns for both producers and consumers, and promote a sustainable cocoa economy in economic, social and environmental terms. The 2010 agreement will improve market transparency by enhancing the role of the International Cocoa Organisation (ICCO) in collecting, processing and distributing data and its cooperation with industry and NGOs. The new agreement will reinforce the ICCO’s mandate for projects aimed at strengthening national cocoa economies’ capacity and responsiveness to evolving demand. The new pact elaborates clear objectives for a sustainable cocoa economy, recognising the importance of economic viability and of social and environmental responsibility throughout all stages of the value chain."@en1
