Trafficked Children On African Cocoa Plantations (EDM1042)

Trafficked Children On African Cocoa Plantations

EDM number 1042 in 2006-07, proposed by Mike Hancock on 06/03/2007.

That this House notes with concern that trafficking of children is a growing problem in the production of cocoa and that at least 15,000 Malian children are trafficked on to cocoa and coffee plantations in Cote d'Ivoire; welcomes the UK's support for the relevant International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and ILO programmes elsewhere; notes with dismay the lack of progress by the cocoa industry in implementing a monitoring and certification process and its inability to be able to guarantee the absence of trafficked labour on cocoa production lines; and calls upon the Government and the cocoa industry to provide a Traffik Free Guarantee, as suggested by the Stop The Traffik coalition, for all cocoa products.

This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs.
