do you come to Brussels once in a while? Tell me if you do. I could arrange a couple of meetings with some friends of mine,

• as is David, the president of the European chocolate industries association who might explain you their activities against child slave labour in the Ivory Coast,

• Jaap, the EU Commission DG FJS administrator for the coordination between the police forces in the EU neighbourhood countries with Europol in The Hague to fight human trafficking and

• Dirk, who coordinates the EU Commission energy policies in the neighbourhood countries and has a major stake in the strategical planning and implementation of the oil and gas infrastructure networks towards the EU Member States.

• Jan, who is the general secretary of the European industries which produce juices. Jan can tell you first hand stories about child slave labour in Florida and California and why things got better on the Brazilian plantations.
