The Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) is delighted that an overwhelming majority of this House has backed the amendment by the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats to reject the Common Position. The VVD is opposed to European patent laws sector-by-sector, and, favouring an integral approach, calls on the Commission to table a proposal for one single Community patent, which would offer more legal certainty.
This would make it possible for the current long-winded and costly system of granting patents to be replaced by a more effective one. We would urge the Commission to start the debate in the Committee on Legal Affairs as soon as possible in an attempt to harmonise existing European patent law on the basis of Article 95, as a result of which Parliament will acquire codecision and be able democratically to monitor what takes place at the European Patent Office.
At the same time, we would urge all the lobby organisations to deploy the same heavy artillery to persuade the French Government to abandon their opposition to one official language in Community patents and thereby open up a competitive and innovative future to their young people.
By so doing, we would not be merely paying lip service to the Lisbon objective, but actually putting our money where our mouth is."@en1
