Published by the Fair Trade Advocacy Office, Fern and Tropenbos International, this paper by Duncan Brack aims to inform the debate around potential European Union regulation of cocoa and cocoa products entering the EU market. It discusses eight possible options for EU action (and, in principle, by other consumer countries).

This focus on cocoa-specific measures comes in addition and complements much-expected cross-sector EU legislation on Human Rights Due Diligence. We hope that the European Commission uses this analysis to inform its discussions about how to step up EU action on sustainable supply chains.
