Not content wity dodging tax, ruining cream eggs and getting rid of the cool wrappers on Roses they are now stopping using Fairtrade for dairy milk chocolate, replacing it with a their own scheme they claim the farmers wont be worse off but if so then why not just stick with fairtrade

They are still working with Fairtrade, they just put their own brand and logo instead. Or at least that's what I'm getting, and not what the article says.

"The Fairtrade logo will now be transferred to the back of the products' packaging as a “partner” on the ground that Fairtrade will continue to monitor the company's work."

Basically, they're backing out of the scheme itself, but are allowing that they be monitored by Fairtrade. Presumably, its to try and change the production process in some fashion that Fairtrade itself wouldn't allow.

Having it on the back just seens to me to be a smoke screen once its on the back they'll hope no one will notice next year when its gone completely, if they were genuinely committed to fair trade and fair prices for suppliers they'd stick with long established well known certification
