"Mr President, I would like to thank you all for the support you have lent to this initiative, particularly Mr Silvestris just a moment ago, Ms Ţicău, Mr Zemke, Ms Băsescu and Mr Baldassarre who provided economic support for this project. I would also like to say to Mr Baldassarre, and to each and every one of you, that this project concerns large companies just as much as smaller companies. Mr Baldassarre had the opportunity, particularly when he presented the report on the patent, to prove just how much personal attention he had paid to the place and the role of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Ms Regner, you also supported this initiative and mentioned the idea that it should go further by putting in place a true common European register. Personally, I think that it is logical for us to have such common tools in the context of the single market. Just a short time ago we spoke about the Trade Marks Office. I could also mention the Patents Office. A common register could be useful for businesses but, as you know Ms Regner, we are building Europe and this single market step by step, stage by stage. Today this network pooling and interconnecting national networks, this common access point is a first step. That is how we must look at things.
I would like to say to Ms Thein, who mentioned the functioning of this platform with the native languages of each speaker, that it is important that we are able to do this, in particular thanks to modern technology. We will do it for the patent by speeding up research on software that will allow us to deliver quality translations in all languages immediately. This is something that will also be facilitated for the IMI network as well as for this interconnection of commercial registers and the European patent.
I would like to thank Mr Karim for his comments about the Single Market Act. Mr Karim, as you know, we submit proposals week after week, all of which are aimed at supporting businesses in order to create the most favourable ecosystem for innovation, mobility, exports, trade, investment and venture capital. The Commission has already presented 10 of the priority proposals. We are working on other proposals within the framework of the Single Market Act and this year we will have the chance to come together again with the committees for a second wave of proposals. The one you will vote on today or tomorrow will be part of that.
I would also like to say to Mr Paška and Ms Flašíková that we are working towards creating this network of national registers and that this implies, Ms Flašíková, good cooperation between all the holders, all the actors, all those who are responsible, all the managers of national networks in order for this to work successfully.
Finally, both Mr Rübig and Ms Macovei mentioned respect for the protection of individuals’ personal data. Yes, the project we are presenting today respects the protection of data. That is a key element. We must nonetheless remember that we are talking about data which is already available to the public, as far as access to information on companies is concerned. However, we were careful to consult the European data protection supervisor prior to this. For the processing of personal data, the proposal for a directive already referred to the provisions laid down in the Data Protection Directive. This provision was rejected by the Council. Thanks to you it was reintroduced by Parliament during the trialogue and I am very pleased about that.
That is all I wanted to say and once again I would like to express my sincerest thanks to your rapporteur Mr Lechner for the quality of his work and for the progress we will make together again towards the good functioning of the internal market."@en1
