"Madam President, I would like to thank all MEPs who have contributed to this debate. I have listened carefully, not only to this discussion, but to other commentary on this proposal for some considerable time. So, in closing, let me stress a few key points.
The current situation with a mixed design protection regime is creating trade distortions, which is bad for the internal market, bad for business and bad for consumers. The full liberalisation of the spare parts aftermarket promises net benefits in many respects. It would allow for more competition and access and participation of SMEs in the market. Consumers would benefit from more choice and lower prices. Besides the legal certainty, it would also simplify the daily lives of administrations, courts, companies – especially SMEs – and consumers. Lastly, the proposed repair clause is derived from and is in full accord with the principles of intellectual property protection.
I therefore ask the European Parliament for its support and repeat what many speakers here have said – but particularly what Mr Lehne and Mr Harbour have said – that the European Parliament will send out a strong signal in favour of a solution that the Community so urgently needs."@en1
