"Madam President, I should like to begin by thanking Mr Lehne, the rapporteur, very much for his work on this document.
I believe we should support the report before us today, as the so-called repair clause achieves a balance between legal protection of intellectual property and free competition and consumer protection. This clause aims to prevent the emergence of unjustified monopolies, and its introduction represents a further step towards the creation of a single market.
I agree with my fellow Member that in the present global context it is best to prevent a situation arising that would be detrimental to the European Union’s internal market. Pursuant to the Directive now in force, different legal practices exist in different Member States. Research shows that in those Member States that retained design protection for spare parts in their legislation, spare parts cost between 6.4% and 10.3% more than in countries where the market has been liberalised.
Finally, I should like to point out that the market concerned has been completely liberalised in Poland."@en1
