lpv:translated text	"We do not fully support some of the resolution’s observations on intellectual property rights or the reference to the European Patent Office supporting competitiveness. However, this resolution is positive overall, even including some important clarifications. It is intended to prevent abuses of the rules for patenting living beings and processes involving improvements to living beings or parts thereof. It is very significant that the report argues that it should be impossible to patent agricultural processes, such as improving species and the new varieties created, which seeks to ensure that farmers are able to continue using centuries-old improvement processes and have access to their products without being at the mercy of multinationals. There is a need to ensure free circulation of scientific information and to prevent disproportionate profits from being made from biological processes or the manipulation thereof. We also welcome the exclusion from patentability of essentially biological processes and the results thereof, and call for reflection on the consequences of patenting. The resolution highlights the Commission’s failure to report ‘on the development and implications of patent law in the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering’, which should take place annually pursuant to Directive 98/44/EC ..."@en1
