Cocoa Industry And Trafficking

EDM number 138 in 2008-09, proposed by Mike Hancock on 04/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights and International trade.

That this House notes with dismay that the cocoa industry did not meet its commitment as set out by the Harkin-Engel Protocol to guarantee to eradicate the worst forms of child labour in supply chains by 1 July 2008; notes that it continues to profit from modern-day child slavery; welcomes the release by the governments of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana of certification reports to address cocoa farming labour practices; and further calls on the industry to uphold children's rights and on the Government to hold chocolate manufacturers to account.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
