lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because intellectual property rights are important for stimulating the development of new plant varieties and plant-related innovations, and are a necessary prerequisite for boosting growth and innovation and helping European business, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to face the economic crisis and global competition. Especially in the area of breeding, excessively broad patent protection can hamper innovation and progress and become detrimental to small and medium breeders by blocking access to animal and plant genetic resources. The breeding of plants is an essential prerequisite for the security of food supply and, to some extent, of energy supply. Conventional breeding methods are critically important for modern plant and animal breeding. The Commission is therefore urged to address in its forthcoming report the potential implications of the patenting of breeding methods for plants and their impact on the breeding industry, agriculture, the food industry and food security. The Commission and the Member States must ensure that the EU will continue to apply a comprehensive breeders’ exemption in its patent law for plant and animal breeding."@en1
