"Mr President, I would like to thank Commissioner Barnier for being so brave as to raise this issue in this way, because he promised during his hearing to tackle the European patent during this term, so thank you for that. I would also like to thank my fellow Member, Mr Lehne, for his approach.
Now, we need only to decide whether we should agree on enhanced cooperation. That is the first thing that has to happen. However, I regret that a distinction has been made between the importance of language and identity as a cultural phenomenon and what actually happens in practice.
Because, in practice, the system which is now being proposed has been used by all Member States for 35 years, and I think that we can be a little more prudent economically about the way in which this is being proposed. I regret that the debate is getting bogged down to some extent in the conflict about languages and I hope – and this is also what Parliament has expressly requested – that the Member States that are perhaps not involved at this stage will be able to join up at any time. That, I believe, will help us put an end to this debate and enable us to finally get a European patent."@en1
