The primary incentive for the companies' voluntary participation would be the addition of a "slave free" label.[46] The 2005 deadline was not met,[49][50] and all parties agreed to a three-year extension of the Protocol.[50][51] This extension allowed the cocoa industry more time to implement the Protocol including creating a certification system to address the worst forms of child labor for half of the growing areas in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana.[51][52] By 2008, the industry had collected data forn over half of the areas, as required, but they did not have proper independent verification.[53] In June 2008, the Protocol was extended until the end of 2010. At that time, the industry was required to have full certifications with independent verifications.[51]
