lpv:translated text	"Madam President, for reasons of equality, if nothing else, a right similar to copyright or other intellectual property rights is needed for intellectual works which can be reproduced ad infinitum. And what we have created are resale rights for the figurative arts. These rights are property rights because they vest economic rights and benefits in the artist. However, they are property rights because they indirectly recognise the importance of aesthetic values while, at the same time, awarding artists a sort of honorary tax. It is a fact of life that works of art cannot be bought and sold without the intervention of art dealers. However, unlike the trade in consumer or other capital goods, the trade in works of art is not an end in itself. The point about the art trade is that it disseminates aesthetic values and aesthetic messages. But these messages cannot be disseminated without artists. And while their contribution is unique, the works which they produce only gradually acquire a market value. It is therefore wholly unfair for the dealer – who is no more than a middleman – to reap the full benefit of this value. Besides, it is up to them to encourage artistic creativity. That is why it is wrong that artists in certain countries do not recognise this right. We therefore need to correct the mistake in the Berne Convention making resale rights potential rights. The fact that certain countries insist on long transitional periods or on postponing the date of application does not flatter its supporters. Europe, as the area of artistic creation and culture must show third countries the right way forward. Everyone stands to gain from this solution."@en1
