Despite the obvious diversity inherent in the nature of plants in the area under our consideration, which fundamentally warrants its own Community Institute, for a long time plant varieties have not only been goods to study and consume, and human creative activity has clearly played a role in their development.
Given the multiplicity of industrial property rights at stake in this issue and the specific characteristics inherent therein, I voted in favour because I accept the need, highlighted by the Council and the Commission, to bring the Community system for protecting plant varieties into line with the directive on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions.
The value of legal certainty and of the protection of creators and inventors, the interweaving of these situations and their importance today suggest that the coherence of users’ rights systems and of cross licences for plant varieties that incorporate patent-protected inventions should be guaranteed.
This harmonisation will in particular guarantee that the holder of a biotechnological patent can use a plant variety that contains his or her invention, when the holder of the plant variety right refuses to grant a contractual licence and when the invention represents significant technical progress of considerable economic interest."@en1
