FOREWORD
Dear Readers, Currently CAOBISCO represents more than 11 000 Companies, employing more than 300 000 persons and generating a total turnover of about 70 Billion Euros. Those gures are eloquent since they conrm an increase in importance of our sectors in the EU over the last 5 years which have been very challenging for the competitiveness of businesses. Building on this energy, 2012 has been a year of positive changes for CAOBISCO with: >> a new visual identity to better reect who we are >> a new website to reect our vision for the future and communicate our commitments to play an active and effective part in the development of smart, inclusive and sustainable growth in Europe. See more on www.caobisco.eu >> new ofces closer to our main stakeholders: the EU institutions and better representing our members. In such a stimulating new environment and keeping in mind that food safety is a non negotiable prerequisite which needs constant care and attention, CAOBISCO concentrated its resources on: >> Shaping EU Common Agriculture Policy Reform to take into account the challenge faced by sugar users namely the access to the quantity and quality of raw materials needed to continue to produce in the EU. >> Communicating about the discriminatory nature of foods taxes, their inevitable negative collateral effects as well as the lack of evidence on their positive impacts on consumption patterns. >> Enhancing consumer understanding notably in relation to origin labelling and ensuring that a proper cost/benet analysis is being made when further rules are being considered at EU level. CAOBISCO has also been the catalyst to enhance the confectionery sectors engagement in responsible sourcing in partnership with the public sector: >> Signing of the Abidjan declaration on cocoa sustainability >> Signing of a Public-Private partnership agreement with International Labour Organisation (ILO) to work on the sustainability in the production of hazelnuts. We hope you nd it an interesting reading and already extend an invitation for next year to receive and read our report on our long term undertakings.

Production quotas are a barrier to sufcient supply, in particular in the context of an increasing global demand for food. Their abolition will benet the competitiveness of the whole supply chain, including farmers.
CAOBISCO activities concentrated specically on making sure that the industry key objectives were covered in the EPs Agriculture Committees report, especially the phasing out of the dairy and sugar production quotas in 2015. Clearly, the direction that the EP was heading towards was not moving to more market orientation. Extensive efforts were made to dare Members of the European Parliament to attempt real reform started to intensify ahead of the EP Agriculture vote on the MEP Dantin Report. CAOBISCO will pursue its efforts in 2013 to make its voice heard and defend the production and competitiveness of its sectors by actively encouraging the suppression of sugar and dairy quotas by 2015. The Council will have to adopt CAP Reform legislation by qualied majority by June 2013, after which the new CAP rules should enter in force on January 2014.
Dairy Market
The CAP reform proposals reiterated the end of dairy production quotas in 2015, which was welcomed by CAOBISCO. Furthermore the proposed ceiling foreseen for intervention stocks on the dairy market seemed reasonable to users who expressed support to the European Commission. As regards private storage aid, CAOBISCO positioned itself in favour of the maintenance of the market measure for skimmed milk powder and butter. CAOBISCO approached the Commission, the supply chain and Member States on the extension of the aid to concentrated butter for following reasons: 1. Concentrated butter is more stable than fresh butter and quality does not change during warehousing. 2. Warehousing costs are much lower compared to fresh butter (because storage does not need below zero temperatures). 3. Several industries (chocolate and bakery sectors) need this butter that does not contain water for technological reasons. 4. To produce concentrated butter out of fresh butter instead of fresh cream is very inefcient and expensive: 82% butter has to be warehoused in Private Storage Aid (PSA) as frozen, than unpacked when needed, melted, concentrated and then repacked and delivered. The European Parliaments report on the Commission proposal sent a good signal in line with the 2010 Dairy package reform in support of the phase out of dairy production quotas in 2015.

Numerous small-and medium sized companies continued to testify to the direct economic impact of supply scarcity and record-high price levels on their businesses, with company closures, suspensions of production lines and thus job losses. In this context, the engaged reform of the agriculture policy proposed by the European Commission with the elimination of sugar production quotas in 2015, brought a glimpse of hope to industries.

The competitiveness of CAOBISCO industries needs to be supported to face the challenges brought in by the global economic downturn and the rise in raw materials and energy prices.
Bilateral negotiations with Central America, Colombia and Peru, and South Korea resulted in origin rules based on value. The only exception was Singapore for which weight rules were agreed, restricting the use of nonoriginating sugar between 20%-40%. However, CAOBISCO exports already benet from duty-free access to Singapore, making the decision on rules less relevant. 2. CAOBISCO requested suppliers to apply accounting segregation in order to have a trace on the storage of quantities of non-origin sugar contained in their sugar silos, thus not contaminating EUorigin sugar and thus accounting the sugar volumes sold as non-originating. In May 2012, the Customs Code Committee (composed of the Commission and Member States) agreed that Member States should grant authorisations to allow the management of stocks through accounting segregation to the suppliers of sugar. In 2013, CAOBISCO intends to investigate if this recommendation is being applied in the 27 Member States.

The European chocolate, biscuit and confectionery industry is committed to providing a large variety of products for consumers to choose from according to their taste, age or lifestyle, on the basis of clear and concise labelling providing the necessary nutritional information.
Food Taxes
In 2012, Denmark decided to abolish the discriminatory tax on saturated fat introduced in 2011 and decided against the introduction of a tax on sugar. CAOBISCO welcomes the decision and remains strongly opposed to any tax on food products imposed on the alleged grounds of ghting the obesity issue. They are discriminatory in nature placing the burden of the obesity problem and other non-communicable diseases on a single product category. The experience of the Danish government conrmed CAOBISCO position on food taxes: >> They hit the consumers who are already struggling to maintain their purchasing power in the current economic crisis. This is particularly true for low-income consumers as they spend a higher percentage of their income on food.

labour in the hazelnut supply chain. CAOBISCO and its members are committed to working in public private partnership to achieve this. The rst agreed step in the meeting on 4th July was to set up a working group to dene the roles and responsibilities of each participant in a multi-stakeholder platform. CAOBISCO and its members consider conformity with recognised international labour standards, including ILO conventions, in the Turkish hazelnut supply chain as a priority. The proper legal and policy framework including the relevant ILO conventions are in place in Turkey. Turkish labour legislation has been further strengthened recently to address labour issues in the agricultural sector. In 2013 CAOBISCO plans to further strengthen alliances with key actors such as ILO and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) on the ground, in coordination with the Turkish Government. At the end of 2012 CAOBISCO1 agreed to contribute to an ILO led project to contribute to the elimination of the worst forms of child labour in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut harvesting in Turkey. The Public Private Partnership will complement an on-going project of the ILO and the Government of Netherlands. In 2013 CAOBISCO will continue to stimulate constructive dialogue and build awareness of the improvements that need to be made. Our aim is effective implementation and concrete results at farm level in the long term.

CAOBISCO Signs The Abidjan Declaration And Committed To Playing Their Role In The Implementation Of The Global Agenda For Cocoa.
On Friday 23rd of November at the closing ceremony of the rst-ever World Cocoa Conference held in Abidjan, Cte dIvoire, CAOBISCO joined cocoa producing country governments, cocoa and chocolate companies and other International and European organisations in signing the Abidjan Declaration. The Declaration outlines a course of actions to bring about major changes in the cocoa sector. The World Cocoa conference was held from 19-23 November 2012 and co-organised by the government of the Republic of Cte dIvoire and the International Cocoa Organisation (ICCO). It gathered all stakeholders of the cocoa and chocolate supply chain and provided a global forum to discuss the key issues facing cocoa production and consumption. CAOBISCO and its members are determined to play their role in addressing the challenges faced by the cocoa supply chain and signing the declaration demonstrated the industrys commitment to work with supply chain partners towards a sustainable world cocoa economy.
CAOBISCO Re-Afrms European Chocolate And Cocoa Industrys Commitment Towards The Elimination Of Child Labour In The Cocoa Supply Chain
The collective challenge facing all stakeholders working to eliminate hazardous child labour conditions in cocoa farming communities of Cote DIvoire and Ghana is understood and we recognise the need to accelerate efforts, - Sabine Nafziger Too many children in cocoa households are helping out on the farm in ways that are damaging to their own health and well-being.

Industry programmes have already made a difference to over a million vulnerable children in West Africa. We invite our readers to visit the Cocoa Sustainability page on CAOBISCO website to learn more about the different programmes. As we look to the future, the industry along with our partners including the governments of Cte dIvoire and Ghana and the US Department of Labour, are committed to a new Framework of Action. The Framework provides a roadmap to remediation that helps guide and rene the development of programmes and interventions to create a measurable reduction in the Worst Forms of Child Labour. Our common goal - a 70% aggregate reduction in the Worst Forms of Child Labour in the cocoa sectors of Cte dIvoire and Ghana by 2020 against the baseline identied in 2010 - is ambitious, but achievable with a resolve and commitment by all partners. One of the programmes industry is supporting under the Framework of Action is a $2 million industry funded public private partnership (PPP) with ILO-IPEC will support IPECs work in three key areas to combat child labour in cocoa production: 1. Implementing community-based child labour monitoring system Strengthening the capacity of governments, social partners and cocoa farmers and to participate in child labour monitoring systems and 2. Enhancing the coordination role and reporting of the national child labour steering committees, and support the development effective National Partners Forums. We understand, ten years in, that making a difference requires a holistic approach. We remain committed to support governments and our global partners in the pursuit of sustainable cocoa farming, helping farmers, families and children achieve a better life.

environmental, social and economic benets of palm oil in a much more consistent and open manner across the EU. In 2013, CAOBISCO and its members aim to engage even more with European and palm oil producing nations, civil society, consumers and other stakeholders. Palm oil is an essential ingredient for the food manufacturing industry due to its superior sensory characteristics and technical attributes, providing taste and texture, heat stability, resistance to oxidation and solidity to a whole range of food products. Oils and fats consist of a mixture of fatty acids, which inuence their texture and functionality. There is no fat containing only one type of fatty acid. It is the nal fatty acid composition of a product that is important. The European food industry is and has been committed for several years to optimising the nutrient composition of its products on a voluntary basis and to proposing to consumers a wider choice. The relation between nutrition and health must be considered in the context of the whole diet and not in terms of single food items. Within the framework of the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health, the results of the latest Monitoring Survey show that 43 % of surveyed companies and 83 % of the FoodDrinkEurope (FDE) core companies have innovated to improve the nutrient composition of their foodstuffs regarding saturated fatty acids (SAFA), trans fatty acids (TFA), sodium/salt or sugars.2 More than half of the palm oil production comes from an estimated 3 million smallholder farms.3 In Malaysia and Indonesia, smallholders represent approximately 35 % and 45 % of national production respectively (NEAC, 2009; RSPO, 2011). The industry has taken concrete steps to address the environmental and social challenges posed by oil palm cultivation. CAOBISCO members in cooperation with the governments of palm oil producing nations and other stakeholders of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) have created a system to certify palm oil produced sustainably; http://ec.europa.eu/health/nutrition_physical_activity/platform/index_en.htm
For more information see the 2012 Annual Report of the platform; http://ec.europa.eu/health/nutrition_physical_activity/platform/index_en.htm In line with the expansion of the planted oil palm area, in Malaysia, the number of people employed in the sector grew from 92,352 in 1980 to about 570,000 in 2009. It is estimated that another 290,000 are employed in downstream operations. In Indonesia, an estimated 25 million people indirectly rely on palm oil production for their income.

2012 IN EVENTS
Representing CAOBISCO
In May, Sabine Nafziger, CAOBISCOs Secretary General, joined a panel debate discussing the eradication of child labour in the cocoa supply chain. It was organised by the Fair Trade Advocacy Organisation (FTAO) and took place at the European Parliament. This event was a good opportunity to advocate a holistic and coordinated approach to address the root causes of child labour. CAOBISCO and its partners in the cocoa supply chain, including the origin country

governments and local authorities, are working together to address the complex challenge of achieving a sustainable cocoa farming allowing cocoa growing communities to sustainably improve their livelihoods and well-being. Industry programmes have already made a difference to over a million vulnerable children in West Africa. CAOBISCO replied to this invite Need for ambitious EU action and suggested that the EU should: 1. Promote the exchange of good practices between sectors; 2. Provide funding and expertise to strengthen the capacity of local stakeholders including civil society and relevant government ministries (capacity building must include government as cocoa experience has found these ministries lacking staff and technical knowledge to enforce/remediate ILO conventions). 3. Address, with appropriate fora (eg ILO, OECD, IPU) the regional dimension of labour in West Africa. There is traditional practice of economic migration in the region during harvest seasons of different crops. Regional collaboration among civil society and governments should serve to tackle issues raised by such practice. 4. Use political dialogue/leverage to promote decent work agenda within the context of the trade negotiations/discussion with third countries. 5. Look at novel ways of addressing universal education needs. In June, CAOBISCO held its annual conference entitled Sustainability, sweet sustainability in Brussels. Organised in the European Parliament, the Conference was hosted by Dr Horst Schnellhardt, MEP. It gathered representatives from the European institutions, supply chain partners, the industry, NGOs and consumers to discuss ways of improving/implementing sustainable practices, identifying areas where public support should be reinforced and identifying priorities. A highlight of the conference was the presentation from Commissioner Karel De Gucht. His keynote address reminded the audience that world leaders were going to meet in Rio de Janeiro for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, to assess current actions on the 3 pillars of sustainable development: economic growth, social equity and environmental protection which are also at the heart

of the EU 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. He encouraged the industry to conclude economic partnership agreements with West Africa to provide a stable platform for sustainable trade in cocoa between Europe and the region. In matters of social responsibility, Commissioner De Gucht welcomed CAOBISCOs long term commitment to the elimination of child labour in the supply chain through cooperation with cocoa stakeholders and CAOBISCOs Responsible Sourcing Guidelines providing guidance to companies on how to integrate social and environmental principles into their economic activity. The debate was articulated around three panels: the role of innovation; affordable and sustainable access to food going forwards; and the nal panel looked at the important role of people. Each panel had a wide range of stakeholders who provided much insight and food for thought for the audience. Key points in rst panel included: >> innovation should be encouraged as it leads to healthy and sustainable enjoyment >> necessity to better communicate with consumers The second panel highlighted the absolute necessity of partnerships within the supply chain as well as the need of scientic analysis of environmental impacts and improvements. The third panel reminded the audience of the importance to respect human rights in food production. It also advocated for the adoption of a holistic approach by addressing social aspects in conjunction with economic and environmental considerations and by installing the dialogue at community level. The President of CAOBISCO, Didier R. Focking, concluded the conference with three words: partnerships, responsibility and communication. In October, CAOBISCO and SEMAD (Turkish Association of the Confectionery Manufacturers) organised a Workshop on the topic How regulations can foster or hinder competitiveness: an analysis of the current sugar market organisation in the EU and Turkey. The CAOBISCO-SEMAD workshop was attended by high level national representatives of local authorities, from Members of the Turkish Parliament to agriculture attachs of Permanent Representations of EU Member States, as well as ofcials from the European Commission DG Agri, Trade and Enterprise. Both organisations gathered to debate about the impact a highly regulated sugar market can have on the competitiveness of the confectionery industry in Turkey and in the EU. In November, CAOBISCO took part in the rst World Cocoa Conference held on 19-23 November 2012 in Abidjan. It was co-organised by the government of the Republic of Cte dIvoire and the International Cocoa Organisation (ICCO).

Mr. Patrick Poirrier, Vice President of CAOBISCO and CEO of Groupe CEMOI presented CAOBISCOs role in the development of sustainable cocoa and chocolate production and consumption at the conference. His presentation focused on CAOBISCO and its members commitment to working to create better and more effective collaboration and partnership in the cocoa supply chain. He highlighted key areas such as cocoa research, productivity and quality. He also informed participants of the CAOBISCO position on the ISO CEN project to create a standard for sustainable and traceable cocoa. He encouraged other stakeholders, especially those in cocoa producing countries to work together in creating a strong standard that would reduce confusion especially at farm level, and help to make sustainable cocoa mainstream.
In 2013
CAOBISCO will build on the positive impetus initiated in 2012 and pursue the modernisation of its communication tools. During the rst trimester it will work at the creation of a new internal platform. The aim is to improve its internal communication and promote quick and efcient exchange of information between members in order to improve the effectiveness of the organisation and create a climate of openness within the membership. CAOBISCO is also preparing a short lm to present the association and promote its activities. Make sure to visit our website (www.caobisco.eu) and watch the lm! Finally, CAOBISCO will pursue its engagement with its stakeholders through targeted events and reinforced partnerships with its partners in the supply chain in an effort to facilitate the exchange of information and knowledge on key topics.
