lpv:translated text	"This concerns a motion for a resolution on patenting essential biological processes. Intellectual property rights are important for stimulating the development of new plant varieties and plant-related innovations. Moreover, they are a necessary prerequisite for boosting growth and innovation and helping European businesses to face the economic crisis and global competition. However, excessively broad patent protection can hamper innovation and progress and become detrimental to small and medium-sized breeders by blocking access to animal and plant genetic resources. So as to treat differently that which is different, I believe that patents can be granted in the field of genetic engineering, but that prohibition of patents on plant and animal varieties has to be safeguarded, since I consider plant breeding an essential prerequisite for the security of the food supply and, to some extent, of the energy supply. I voted for this report for the aforementioned reasons."@en1
