"I voted in favour of this important resolution because I support its spirit and objectives. The European art and antiques market makes a significant contribution to the global market. It therefore merits greater attention and protection by us, especially against increasing competition from third countries. I was very struck by the impressive growth recorded by China in this sector and by the general trend of the centre of gravity of the art market shifting towards emerging countries. I therefore think Europe should do everything it can to strengthen the European market and Europe’s position globally. As regards the resale right in particular, I think it is right and necessary that artists can continue to receive payment for their works of art as time goes by, especially younger artists who often part with their work for little money at the start of their career, in order to make themselves known. What is more, this resale right would not have a negative impact on the market or on its location. Lastly, providing for copyright on works of art that would cover the resale of the original might be a good way of preventing discrimination against artists themselves, and I think that its inclusion in the legal systems of various third countries is a good thing."@en1
