"I understand and agree that it is quite proper that there should be a debate, since there are concerns among consumers, citizens and Internet users.
Moreover, we are all responsible for implementing international agreements on intellectual property rights which ensure there is a level playing field and fair treatment when it comes to protecting these rights. We all know, madam, that they are a key factor for growth. I think everyone on these benches is unanimous on this point, although there may be some differences of opinion on how to go about it.
Creativity, invention, art and innovation must be properly protected and remunerated. At the same time, as I said yesterday, it is important for this intellectual property to keep up with the times. At the moment, this means with the European dimension at the very least, and that of the Internet.
We took note of the concerns expressed by your President, Mr Schulz, of course, and I can reiterate that based on a legal analysis and on the work we have carried out, we believe the text complies with the body of EU law and respects citizens’ fundamental rights.
As I have said, our colleague Mr De Gucht will be able to continue this debate and this dialogue and answer all your questions, so as to reassure you and, quite rightly, reassure the people in your constituencies who are worried."@en1
