"Several unusual circumstances arose in the course of the work of the Committee on Legal Affairs on Mr Masip Hidalgo’s report that we are discussing today. Firstly, we are dealing with a Union agency that not only earns money for itself but also hopes to be entrusted with new tasks, as it considers it has sufficient financial and human resources to cope with additional work.
Secondly, what is at issue is the inclusion of a new observatory into the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market. This observatory would monitor instances of violation of intellectual property rights, providing us with more detailed information and indicating where exactly the root of the problem of protecting intellectual property in Europe lies.
Thirdly, work on this report was completed at almost the end of last year, and despite it being the run-up to Christmas, Mr Masip Hidalgo and the Polish Presidency succeeded in creating a version acceptable to both sides in a comparatively short time. Both sides had to display perseverance and exceptional negotiating skills. In view of the current intense debate on the protection of intellectual property rights and combating all types of violations of the latter including in the sphere of the Internet, we must equip ourselves with the necessary knowledge and tools to enable us to deal effectively with the problem. I hope that including the observatory within the structure of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market will allow our expectations to be met and enable us to gather and analyse date in a reliable and objective manner. That is why I voted in favour of this report."@en1
