"Madam President, legal protection of industrial design is intended to protect the benefits of product design, but it must not be allowed to restrict competition and result in unjustifiably high prices. The introduction of the repair clause achieves a fair balance between legal protection of intellectual property and the need for freedom of competition. It also protects 260 million European drivers against a monopoly in the purchase of must-match spare parts for the repair of motor vehicles. I support Amendments 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 which have been tabled. I am opposed to Amendments 6, 7, and 9. These changes are beneficial for the single market, SMEs and consumers. I should like to thank Mr Lehne, the rapporteur, for all his work and for the compromises he brokered regarding amendment of the Directive on design protection."@en1
