". I would like to thank Mr Zimmerling for the work he has done on this report. Although it is an attempt to protect artists, in fact, together with the Commission proposal as it is now before us, it has actually achieved the opposite effect. Of course, I realise that artists are entitled to remuneration for their creativity, but unlike books, in the case of visual arts, this right is actually bought at the initial sale. Furthermore, in countries such as the Netherlands, where resale right has not been applied so far, there are plenty of options for both the young and more established artists in the shape of a buoyant art trade, which also benefits the artists. Resale right as it is now proposed requires a massive amount of red tape, whilst the benefit for the individual young artist is minimal. Moreover, it is exceptionally difficult to check whether the art trade keeps to this resale right. This regulation, therefore, has a restricting rather than a stimulating effect. Also, both the young and the renowned artist will suffer if the international trade moves outside the European borders due to European over-regulation. I therefore have no choice but to vote against this directive."@en1
