".
I would like to thank Mr Zimmerling for his work on this complicated dossier. Although it was clear from his report that he got to the bottom of the issue, I as a Liberal fail to agree with him, because I believe that, where possible, legislation should be whittled down a minimum. In various Member States, it has transpired that resale right is superfluous and causes distortions on the internal market.
Rendering this legislation compulsory would immediately and seriously harm Europe’s competitive position in terms of art compared to other markets, because resale right outside Europe is non-existent. This is why I am of the opinion that the international art market will move outside of Europe as a result of the directive.
Finally, I believe that the present proposal does not offer any protection to young, fledgling artists in general, but only to a small group. By voting against this directive, my group would also like to give out a political signal that we should not waste our time laying down superfluous rules."@en1
