"Mr President, for several years, discussion has been taking place in Europe on the introduction of unitary patent law. Economists and business people are of the opinion that its introduction would significantly reduce the costs of patent protection for businesses throughout the European Union and would allow cheap, effective and improved protection. This is particularly important, especially for the small and medium-sized enterprise sector. The recommendations and proposals of the European Commission also point in this direction.
However, notice should be taken of certain controversial proposals which are the subject of discussion in this matter – this has already been mentioned in the House today – namely, the questions related to translations of patents made by the European Patent Office and the proposal that these translations be made into only three languages. This is something which requires further thought and consideration as to why it should be those three languages and not other ones, particularly because this would give a certain advantage to business people who use one of these languages as their mother tongue. I think we should give more thought to this."@en1
