"Mr President, this common position was again voted through with a narrow majority. The Commission and the rapporteur have failed to recognise that the art trade is a global business and would be better regulated by an international agreement. We now fear that the art market will go offshore. The Commission, again, has failed to commit itself to entering international negotiations to get an international deal on
claiming that it feels it does not have a mandate in this area. It now does have a mandate with the voting through and the start of the conciliation procedure.
The Commission has also failed spectacularly to give us any analysis of the economic impact of the directive before us. This leads us to conclude that it is not proven to be necessary to complete the single market. It cannot, therefore, be the objective of this Parliament to undermine the European art market and in conciliation I hope now that the Member States and Commission will be able to maintain the common position. The amendments that Mr Zimmerling has tabled will deal a death blow to the vitality to the European art market, with loss of jobs and, I fear, very few living artists benefiting from this resale right."@en1
