lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our debate today is of the utmost importance not only for software developers in the European Union, but also for all those with an interest in knowledge. This is because, by proposing the patentability of computer-implemented inventions, the Commission is preparing the ground for the patentability of human knowledge. It goes without saying that human knowledge cannot become the birthright of large multinationals, which are almost synonymous with Microsoft in this case. We all know that this proposal for a directive responds neither to the economic, scientific and cultural challenges facing the software sector, nor to the imperative to promote innovation, technological development or the interests of SMEs. We know how important it is to maintain a supply of free software, and how important it is to give the public sector tools for developing a content and service industry, in order to protect the common interest. For that reason, and to give voice to the strong opposition of scientists and software publishers, this proposal for a directive must be rejected. I hope that this plenary will send a clear message by approving the proposal for a rejection, which I endorse and which was tabled by my group."@en1
