lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I joined the vast majority in this House in voting against this draft directive. Today, here in this House, I believe that reason has notched up a victory against the interests of a few big IT manufacturers and their lobbyists. We have also flagged up the greater freedom of choice that consumers will enjoy. We have also made it clear that there is a future in Europe for information technology firms, for what was at stake was innovation and small and medium-sized businesses’ freedom to develop themselves. I am enormously pleased that we have managed today to firmly send off the pitch those who planned to legalise patents on software, and, in so doing, to show our support for those advocates of open source and defenders of free software development. We have also, and in particular, given a helping hand to the small and medium-sized software businesses that would have sustained immense damage had the patenting directive gone through. I rejoice that we have won this victory, and hope that we will be able to do something similar when we come to revise the Biotechnology Patents Directive."@en1
