lpv:spoken text	"This is a historical victory that puts the respect of human rights above the profit of companies. After a long and hard campaign, the S&D Group convinced the rest of the European Parliament to secure a legally binding scheme to ensure the traceability of minerals, to make sure that products sold in the EU do not fuel armed militias or foster human rights violations in conflict areas. There have been voluntary guidelines in place for five years and more than 80% of companies have chosen not to publish any information on their supply chain due diligence. These mandatory requirements, while not burdensome on any one link in the supply chain, will make a huge difference to those on the ground in conflict areas. We now need the support of EU Member State governments to reach an agreement on this legislation."@en1
