lpv:translated text	"During the debate in plenary, my colleague Mr Mussa said words to the effect that intelligence cannot be patented. I entirely agree with this principle, since we cannot ignore the fact that any piece of software is the product of a mental process enabling a human being to command an unintelligent machine to perform a series of instructions. What is at issue, therefore, is a product of the human mind. To patent it would be to risk diminishing our capacity for research and innovation, in view of the number of patents already filed, particularly by large United States corporations. These corporations would thus come to enjoy a sort of ‘monopoly on intelligence’. Although this is a highly complex area in technical terms, we are sensitive to the economic and political consequences of the proposal, which will hit small- and medium-sized software companies hardest. We voted against it, therefore, even though some amendments pointing in the right direction were adopted."@en1
