Inge Demeyere, Managing Director for Cargill Chocolate Europe, said: “We wanted to create a place where customers can explore the entire world of chocolate under one roof, enabling them to taste, feel, smell and see chocolate in every form. “At the House of Chocolate, customers can collaborate with our experts and leverage our resources to create products inspired by the latest trends. It is a place designed to bring ideas to life and quickly move them to the market.” Cargill said that the idea-to-execution concept begins in the facility’s chocolate experience centre, where inspiration and innovation go hand in hand. The House of Chocolate will allow its customers to explore market trends around health, sustainability, and sensory experiences, and brainstorm new product concepts. Collaboration is central to the House of Chocolate experience, the company said, as it serves as the European R&D hub for Cargill’s chocolate, coating and filling activities and its 40 chocolate engineers. It’s also home to a unique pilot plant, giving brands the opportunity to rapidly prototype new products in small batches for greater efficiency and speed to market. Belgium has been a focal point of Cargill’s global chocolate business since the early 2000s due to its unique position in the chocolate world globally and the strong reputation of Belgian chocolate. Cargill’s cocoa & chocolate business has also benefitted from extensive investment to meet customer demands for vegan, extra white, and sugar-reduced chocolate. It has also strengthened its presence in the gourmet space by acquiring businesses such as Leman Decorations and Smet.

No individuals have been arrested or charged in connection with the investigation, although the recent history of this relatively small club, involving some of the most powerful figures in football, remains controversial in Belgium View image in fullscreenGérard Lopez Photograph: ShutterstockLast year Mouscron were forced to reapply for their professional licence for the fifth time in six years in May after complaints from the Belgian FA and two clubs concerning its previous ownership five weeks after the club was taken over by Lopez charges against the club – not individuals – were announced for alleged forgery of documents The charges relate to the Belgian police’s investigation into how Mouscron won a licence to play in the top tier of Belgian football from 2015 to 2018 Lopez told the Guardian last year: “All of this topic predates any of our involvement as such the club will fully collaborate on all of these allegations.” Mouscron was bought by the Israeli football “super agent” Pini Zahavi in 2015 A year later he sold it in response to a ruling from the Belgian FA which barred agents from owning clubs according to a statement released by the prosecutor’s office in Belgium raids were carried out at “the offices of Mouscron football club at the homes of the club’s management and two sports associations” Belgian prosecutors also alleged that Zahavi had “masked” his continued involvement in Mouscron via a web of foreign companies Zahavi told the Guardian he was not arrested or questioned either then or subsequently “Although the Mouscron file has been thoroughly researched by competent authorities and I [have] never been interview[ed] by any [law enforcement] official in Belgium,” he said He has consistently denied any continued involvement in Mouscron Zahavi sold Mouscron to a company based in Malta Latimer International Ltd which lists his nephew Adar Zahavi appointed another well-known football agent the Swiss agent left Mouscron after Belgian clubs Oud-Heverlee Leuven Westerlo and Sint-Truiden lodged a joint complaint suggesting his presence translated to continued agent involvement View image in fullscreenPini Zahavi sold the club in 2016 Photograph: Franck Fife/AFP via Getty ImagesItalian FA documents seen by the Guardian show that Rautenberg acted as an intermediary while on the board of Mouscron brokering Ante Rebic’s loan move from Fiorentina to Hellas Verona in January 2016 a practice that was banned by the Belgian FA in December 2015 In March 2018 Mouscron changed hands again a close friend of Zahavi who helped facilitate the takeover at Manchester City in 2008 bought the club through an Irish-based holding company was added to Mouscron’s board of directors In May 2020 a leaked transcript from Mouscron’s licence hearing at the Belgian court of arbitration for sport (BCAS) revealed a wire-tapped conversation between Rautenberg and Paul Allaerts Rautenberg can apparently be heard discussing a lunch date he says he had with “Pinion Pirotte” – a name spelled phonetically by investigators – where he claimed they agreed Rautenberg would send money to the club through “Pirotte’s” son as to not establish a link between himself and Mouscron In the recording Allaerts apparently approved asking when the money would be coming through Allaerts told the Guardian that Piempongsant sought “advice” from Rautenberg on an “ad hoc” basis When asked about the identity of “Pinion Pirotte,” Allaerts told the Guardian: “Pairoj Piempongsant has reported that a payment of €2m found its way from Rautenberg to Bogo Ltd the company held by Piempongsant and listed as the owner of Mouscron But having failed to establish a concrete link between “Pinion Pirotte” and Piempongsant BCAS granted Mouscron its licence to play again this season – a crucial step ahead of Lopez’s takeover The Belgian FA said it disagreed with the “principle” of the decision launched an appeal against it in Belgium’s highest court Pairoj Piempongsant and Phubate Piempongsant did not respond to requests for comment Lopez was ousted from Lille after the French club’s largest creditors lost faith in the Spanish-Luxembourgish entrepreneur’s ability to meet the club’s spiralling debts “His interest in the Belgian league and his possibilities to hatch young players remains unchanged,” said the club president Twelve players have joined Mouscron from Lille on permanent deals or on loan since Lopez took over has distanced the French club from any sort of long-term association with Mouscron saying “there is no legal relationship” with the club only a contract that expires at the end of June By then the future of Mouscron as a whole may be clearer too You can read this article in 3 minutesPölös Zsófia Amazon

bottom of the Belgian First Division are looking for a new manager after sacking Fernando Da Cruz at the weekend Sacramento has been in the Spurs job less than a year after joining when Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino last November, but could now be on his way to Belgium, according to Le Soir. The 31-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise as a coach, and had helped Lille reach last season's Champions League before he was lured away to Spurs. Sacramento previously worked under the sacked Mouscron coach, Da Cruz, during a caretaker period in at French club Lille. Mouscron are rock-bottom of the league in Belgium and have yet to win any of their nine games in the competition. They have drawn three and lost six already, having come a respectable tenth last season. Sacramento has no experience working as a manger and previously worked as a scout at Monaco before going on to Lille.  Mourinho has been effusive in his praise of Sacramento having brought him with him to north London last year. He said earlier this year: 'Joao is working with me as you know just at Spurs for the first time but I can say that we've worked together for a few years. 'He's been at Monaco and then in Lille and our relationship comes from then. We can say that by talking, by changing opinions, by changing ideas, we know each other for quite a long time and I knew that he was going to be an assistant with quality because he has great talent and with great motivation. 'That's because for him it's the first time really he's going to a league of our dimension, with the day by day challenge of our league, so I'm really, really happy with Joao.

Plans will include a state-of-the-art chocolate experience centre, a unique pilot plant, a sensory lab and creative workspace for the company’s European R&D team of chocolate engineers. Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate said the new 700-square-meter complex will enable customers to experience the convenience of an all-in-one development process, from inspiration, innovation and training, through pilot lab testing, sensory testing and finally culminating in commercial-scale production – at a single location. “Innovation stands at the forefront of our House of Chocolate, as we bring together all our expertise and resources,” said Harold Poelma, president of Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate. “It will allow us to collaborate with customers at every step of their product development journey, transforming ideas into reality using a streamlined approach to facilitate innovation and deliver greater efficiency and speed to market.” The new House of Chocolate will bring three critical functions of the company under one roof and will enhance its gourmet with an on-site pilot plant that allows product developers to test their concepts through small-scale production runs that replicate the manufacturing conditions of industrial lines, while the in-house sensory lab ensures those products deliver on consumers’ expectations for taste, visual appearance, texture and more. Staffed by a team of more than 40 chocolate engineers, including sensory experts, technical service specialists and R&D scientists, the new facility will serve as the hub for all of Cargill’s chocolate, coating and filling activities. “It’s fitting we make this investment in Belgium, given the unique place it holds in the chocolate world,” said Inge Demeyere, managing director for Cargill Chocolate Europe. “Our House of Chocolate builds on that rich tradition, offering customers a unique venue to discover all that’s possible with our state-of-the-art capabilities and our broad range of brands including Cargill, Veliche Gourmet and Smet.” Construction has already begun, with the pilot centre scheduled to open in autumn 2021. The chocolate experience centre and sensory lab will be operational in January 2022. Cargill said the new complex will create around 10 new jobs in the community.

This season, Gerard Lopez has also experienced the demotion of Girondins de Bordeaux, of which he is also the owner. (Photo: Patricia Pitsch/Maison Moderne/Archives) Royal Excel Mouscron, owned by Luxembourg businessman Gerard Lopez, was declared bankrupt by its board of directors on Tuesday evening. The club will either have to merge with another entity or restart at the lowest level of Belgian football. Two weeks ago, the board, together with the town of Mouscron and regional group “Intercommunale d'étude et de gestion”, decided on a 15-day deadline to try to find a solution to the problems encountered by the club. The club faced an estimated €4m in debt, which had prevented Mouscron from obtaining its professional licence from the Belgian football federation. Lopez--who is also president of Girondins de Bordeaux, which were demoted this year--had undertaken to sell the club for a symbolic euro to facilitate a possible takeover. While the possibility of a Swiss buyer gave rise to some hope, this quickly proved to be a dead end as no one seemed interested in acquiring a club that would at best have evolved in the Belgian fourth division. “At the end of the two-week period, and despite strong reductions in expenses, no solution was found to finance a judicial reorganisation procedure. The board of directors has therefore decided to declare bankruptcy. It is with great sorrow and disappointment that we have had to take this decision,” said the club in a statement. The team will now either have to approacj another club or return to the fourth provincial league, the lowest level in Belgian football. The club had previously gone bankrupt in 2009. This story was first published in French on . It has been translated and edited for Delano. The mayor of the Belgian city of Mouscron was found dead in a cemetery in that city. He was killed by an eighteen-year-old who said that he wanted to take revenge for the death of his father. The body of Alfredo Gaden (71) was found with his throat cut, and his wife found him in the cemetery that the mayor opened and closed every day. Mouscron is a town of less than 60.000 people near the French border. The death of the conservative mayor shocked the country, and the killer said that his father killed himself in 2015 after he lost his job in the municipality. Chelsea are continuing talks with Belgian side Royal Mouscron-Peruwelz over a possible partnership. Talks have been ongoing for over a month after French side Lille cut their ties with Mouscron and Chelsea have been looking for alternatives to Vitesse Arnhem. Sportsmail reported earlier this month how Chelsea were discussing buying shares in the Belgian club which is based on the border with France. They are also aware that regulations governing non-EU players are more lenient in Belgium which could help in some of their foreign recruitment from the likes of Japan and South America. Mouscron are 13th in the Belgian league and a deal is expected to advance over the next fortnight.
