lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there has been heavy lobbying around this report because there is much at stake. I understand this very well and I share this concern. This directive, which is probably well-intentioned, is a threat to scores of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Europe who are at risk of losing their creativity as a result of all these patents. These small- and medium-sized enterprises are the avant-garde of the business sector. We must nurture these small- and medium-sized enterprises because they deliver innovation. This innovation enables us to maintain our position in the world market. We are against this directive because it represents over-regulation. The present protection offered by copyright is sufficient. We Greens are often reproached as being busybodies. Well, here is the proof that we are not. As a matter of fact, there is talk in the USA of toning down patent laws, which are regarded as counterproductive. So why should we have to approve an outdated law in Europe?"@en1
