"Mr President, thank you for the question, which has two parts. Firstly, there is the question concerning a referendum. I am a keen supporter of referendums, as Mr Rohde well knows. We insisted on one in connection with the most recent amendment to the Treaty, while Mr Rohde’s party insisted on the opposite. We insisted on one in connection with the Fiscal Compact, while Mr Rohde’s party insisted on the opposite. Therefore, now that we have the facility under the Danish constitution, it is actually not so strange for us to insist on a referendum. I will turn, now, to the actual matter at hand. Well, our basic concern is the one that has also been expressed by the Association of Danish Patent Agents, and that is a concern about the rules on forum shopping. If it is the case that small patent holders can be forced to defend their patents at any national court, and from that court they cannot directly bring the case before the central authority, we have a problem in that this will potentially benefit the large corporations and their ilk, in other words, those that Mr Rohde will be keen to look after, but not the small patent holders."@en1
