"I am going to be relatively brief on this subject because, as you have said, it concerns a very recent ruling of the Court of Justice.
This ruling is important because it concerns a highly sensitive matter, that of research and the patentability of research into what we call stem cells. All I would ask you, therefore, Baroness Ludford, is to understand that the European Commission will, of course, respect this Court of Justice ruling, and I and those of my colleagues who, like me, are directly affected by this patent issue will be obliged to work on this ruling and to analyse all of its implications.
I therefore ask you to recognise that we need time, since this ruling was only delivered a few days ago. We will return to Parliament to discuss the conclusions we draw from it. This will not stop us, of course, from pursuing our work under the authority and impetus of the Polish Presidency so that, basically, we finally manage to resolve this patent issue, which has been pending in Europe for around 30 years now, and which we hope to resolve in a few weeks’ time, on the basis of the European Commission’s proposal to introduce one formal protection right today, under the Treaty of Lisbon, and through what we call ‘enhanced cooperation’ by 25 countries.
Moreover, I continue to hope that the two countries that have not participated in this enhanced cooperation – Italy and Spain – will be able to do so. In any case, the door is open."@en1
