In June 2000, after about 30 years of discussion, the European Parliament published Directive 2000/36/EC relating to cocoa and chocolate products intended for human consumption. This directive came into force throughout the EU on 3 August 2003, and harmonized chocolate legislation among all the member states.The result was that each member state has had to modify and ratify its own national legislation.
