 | | One of the arguments deployed by the continental countries which favour the cocoa butter-only recipe, which has had some influence in the European Parliament, is the false argument that banning the use of vegetable oils other than cocoa butter, which is, of course, itself a vegetable oil, will improve prospects for third world farmers' cocoa. |
 | | Although that argument was deployed in the European Parliament, its basis is, in fact, poor because of the growth in consumption of cocoa and, therefore, the increased market available to cocoa producers. |
 | | Rudi Vis (Finchley and Golders Green): The documents were sent to us rather early, so I read them in part during the recess, when there was more time to do so. |
