"Mr President, this is a matter of human rights – the right to survive – versus intellectual property rights – the right to be paid for something that one has produced. Obviously, the right to life is more important than all other rights. This represents the first step towards defending the right to life. The Commission’s proposal is too weak and, in my opinion, Parliament has improved it, especially with regard to enabling NGOs to use the directive. Another improvement stems from our justified criticism of the need for remuneration and of how this is to be defined and from the fact that we also apply such considerations to countries that are not members of the WTO and whose citizens’ lives are worth just as much as those of citizens of WTO countries.
On the subject of adequate remuneration, the fact is that, if you do not have any money, you cannot provide adequate remuneration. There just will not be any. That must be made absolutely clear. I also hope that these measures will be implemented as quickly as possible, as I do not believe that this legislation is sufficient, and the only way for us to find out if it is in fact sufficient is for us to get it through quickly so that we can test it."@en1
