"I voted for the recommendation on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the International Cocoa Agreement 2010. Being the main importer and consumer of cocoa, the EU bears a large share of responsibility for increasing the sustainability of the cocoa production sector. The 2010 agreement aims to create the conditions required for fairer global trade in cocoa, which is more sustainable economically, socially and environmentally. The new agreement’s objectives are to promote international cooperation in the world cocoa production sector; to provide an appropriate framework for discussion on all cocoa matters among governments and with the private sector; to strengthen the national cocoa production sectors in member countries; to strive towards obtaining fair prices leading to equitable returns for both producers and consumers. The agreement is aimed at introducing greater transparency and sustainability into a sector on which 50 million livelihoods depend throughout the world. I think that the agreement will have a positive impact on all the actors participating in the cocoa production sector and will translate into tangible long-term benefits for both smallholder farmers and their communities."@en1
