Proposal for a Council Decision on the possible relocation of the ICCO headquarters from London to Abidjan

The Council of the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) decided in May 2002 to move its headquarters from London to Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire with effect from 1 January 2003. Due to the security situation in Cote d'Ivoire, the implementation of the relocation to Abidjan was several times postponed, the last time in March 2012 when the Council of ICCO agreed to make a final decision at its September 2015 session.

With the current decision, the European Union will adopt its position to be taken in the 92nd regular session of the ICCO Council in September 2015 (or any extraordinary session after September until the end of 2015) regarding the relocation of ICCO headquarters from London to Abidjan.
