"Any decision on intellectual property rights must take account of the fact that different types of problems cannot be addressed with a general rule, as defined by the term ‘intellectual property’. The imitation of goods and works governed by an intellectual property scheme relates, firstly, to the distribution of work at global level and, secondly, to creativity, as shaped by the spread of new technologies, with radically different conditions of production and consumption. The inability to recognise and manage issues relating to outdated materials and unprofitable intangible resources negates the contraction sought by the term ‘intellectual property’. Creating and strengthening an organisation to monitor such rights, in view of the ACTA trade agreement, which also contracts disparate problems, to the point at which it goes beyond fundamental democratic rights and functions, will turn the observatory into a police body to monitor citizens’ private lives and communications and undermine creativity and innovation in the Union. The possible cooperation between this body and private firms paves the way for the policing of citizens’ public and private life by private individuals, a prospect which is incompatible with democratic principles and values. As neither the original proposal nor the proposed changes satisfactorily meet the need to protect the personal and democratic rights of European citizens, I abstained."@en1
