"Mr President, the single market is a great success story that needs to be completed. It is one that even many eurosceptic Brits support, so I now congratulate the 25 countries that have now enabled inventors to access automatic protection throughout the European Union.
The language-based resistance of Spain and Italy to this policy is regrettable: three working languages is enough and will work. The process will reduce costs and improve efficiencies, bringing a huge benefit to businesses that reply on IP rights. They can already rely on an EU common trademark policy and will now be able to depend on a common patent policy as well. So I welcome the compromise, which limits the role of the ECJ in areas of substantial patent law, as not all patent applications will be pan-European. So it is critical that we ensure that national courts still retain their right to interpret national law in areas where European law is not applicable.
The aim overall is to create a European single market where citizens need the scale that 500 million consumers can bring to grow their businesses. It is not to impose these changes when none is required. Overall, my Group and myself supported this proposal."@en1
