lpv:translated text	". Mr President, even as we try at second reading to tweak the common position on copyright here and there, we should not lose sight of the fact that, whatever the outcome of tomorrow's vote or of the impending conciliation procedure, we have achieved both very little and a great deal. Very little because the level of harmonisation of copyright in the European Union will not be very high, much lower in fact than in many other less important areas. National traditions are simply too varied here and the interests of all those involved are too diverse and too contradictory. But, compared with the current situation, we will have achieved a great deal if the directive as contained in the common position or, even better, with the amendments adopted tomorrow, can be improved and can enter into force quickly. At least we now have a standard definition for a few core concepts. The full development of the information society will no longer be impeded by a grossly insecure legal framework and rightholders and their agents will have ways of protecting their interests. Technical means of protection in particular are developing at a very fast pace. At the same time, however, we must guarantee wide public access in the interest of cultural diversity. This obviously includes not criminalising consumers or charging them several times over. It also includes developing cultural heritage, such as the cultural heritage stored in television archives, and ensuring that libraries are able to fulfil their valuable role in the online world. Like some of my fellow Members, I feel that the outcome of the vote in the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market has compromised the hard-struck balance in favour of the exceptions and I therefore hope that at least some of the proposed amendments tabled by my group will still be accepted."@en1
