lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it has been a very long time now since my views converged with those of the Commissioner or his predecessor. I am talking in particular of the report submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 16 of the Biotechnology Patents Directive. On behalf of my group, I can state that we agree with the conclusions of this report both on the issue of the area of application – the scope of patents – and on the distinction drawn between the patentability of totipotent and pluripotent stem cells, and that we can also support the report’s proposals on how to proceed. For we, too, want to promote the development of biotechnology and are convinced that patents play a very important part in this. At the same time, however, I believe that the present written report by the Commission does not go far enough, and that there are more unresolved problems with the application of our Biotechnology Patents Directive than the Commission actually addresses in its report. I am now a fairly long-standing Member of this House, and participated actively in taking the decision at that time. Of course, once again we are all victims here of the compromises that had to be entered into back then. I should also like to see the Commission adopting a somewhat faster approach and addressing the remaining unresolved problems more directly. Less a problem with the Commission and more a problem with several Members of this House is the issue, arising from this motion for a resolution, of whether the European Parliament should act as a complainant. As a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs, I can only advise against taking such a step. It is not Parliament’s job to participate in individual proceedings. I hope that we can adopt a resolution tomorrow that does not entail that."@en1
