lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is a European paradox that while we have a high level of basic research, we have a relatively low level of innovation. In Poland, this has been influenced by the fact that many branches of industry have been taken over by foreign companies which have their research institutes, design offices and laboratories in their own countries. In fact, our industrial research base has been shut down in recent years. Research results have not been effectively translated into streamlined production methods and services or innovation. This is partly due to multinational corporations choosing to compete in the field of research and innovation. Inventors of new ideas and patents have also had difficulties in gaining measurable profits. Other problems have included the blocking of possible competitors from the European Union by international corporations such as Microsoft with the aid of patents, limited budgetary resources and the restricted financial resources for military research. That is why we should, first of all, simplify the mechanisms allowing inventors to gain personal profits not only from patentable inventions but also from other inventions. Secondly, we should limit the monopolies of international companies which use their patents to block European competitors. If a patent granted in the Union blocks the growth of innovation in a given field through deliberate non-application for a given period of time, I would suggest that the idea behind the invention should be made available, free of charge, to other users. Thirdly, any large company should have to use their profits to create a technical progress fund for streamlining and innovation. It is a solution that has already been implemented in Poland once before. Small and medium-sized enterprises, however, could focus their resources with the aid of organisations such as chambers of commerce."@en1
