"With the approval of this report, which seeks to establish enhanced cooperation in connection with the registration and protection of patents, there is a risk of imposing language arrangements that are limited to three languages only – English, German and French – with translation of the patent into the respective national language in each Member State no longer being required. Although the purpose of creating an EU patent is positive in the sense that it would help to revitalise and promote innovation in Europe, nevertheless, I would argue that this cannot be pursued with the violation of the fundamental principles of European citizenship itself, with the breaking of Community cohesion and fragmentation of the internal market or with the introduction of new factors of discrimination, inequality and imbalance.
The Portuguese language – the third most important European language of universal communication – will suffer inexplicable discrimination with the introduction of this ‘enhanced cooperation’. That is why I voted as I did."@en1
