Caobisco, which represents the European Union's chocolate, biscuit and confectionery industries, has traditionally taken a robust line about the benefits confectionery can bring to diets, signing up to the EU's self-regulating plan for curbing obesity, announced last year. That means looking at healthier and innovative ingredients for chocolate bars, cakes, biscuits and other sweet treats.rnThe industry is considering change from a strong position. In Europe the chocolate, biscuit and confectionery sectors generate €3.9 billion in EU exports. Demand within Europe is also large: by 2010, the EEA region is expected to account for 47 per cent of global confectionery sales, according to market researchers Global Industry Analysts. However, there are market jitters with recessions looming in EuroDe: in the UK. according to figures from Keynote Publications' Confectionery Market Report Plus 2008, the confectionery market dropped in value from €5.65 bn in 2006 to €5.52 bn in 2007.
