lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should first of all like to congratulate Ms Geringer de Oedenberg for her most patient and persistent work, which has led to a result that we look upon favourably, despite a number of question marks. The directive we are going to adopt is important, not only because it increases the number of people with access to artistic and original works – which, in itself, is highly significant – but also because it marks a break from a position which, to date, has had a negative effect on the spread of culture: a reverence for copyright to the extent of wishing to defend it even if there is no right holder, who might have died or is unconcerned. Moreover, the narrow-mindedness of collecting societies is an obstacle to the spread of culture, which is why we have arrived here with delays and with great difficulty. I refer, for example, to attitudes on access for blind people to cultural works and attitudes on private copying. On this issue, we have found ourselves confronted with a kind of wall, which today – thanks to this measure – we have been able to demolish or at least breach. The measure we are going to adopt has great political significance and the step forward we are about to take surely deserves our approval. There are, no doubt, some shortcomings – so I also understand some of the concerns raised by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance – but these do not add up to a reason to fail to grasp this opportunity and the significant innovation that this step represents. Fortunately, Mr Barnier has tabled the regulation on collecting societies under debate in our committee, so we are addressing this critical issue in order that the whole range of arguments and topics relating to copyright can be dealt with in the right way. It is a good proposal, which we think needs amending and improving but is worthy of support, thus convincing us yet further to vote in favour."@en1
