lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, may I firstly thank my colleague rapporteurs and Commissioner Barnier, whose leadership on this issue is recognised and most welcome. This is really a perfect example of what is so wrong with Europe. So many of my chronologically-wiser colleagues tell me of the screaming demand there was many years ago for such measures. Our response was 40 years in the waiting. In committee, when I said that we should possibly put forward a compromise by having a German-speaking court in London, a French-speaking court in Munich and an English-speaking one in Paris, with Spanish as a default position, it seems the Council thought that this was a serious proposal and solution. It was not. Our innovators need this measure, and they need us to act fast on this and so many other issues. China is breathing down our necks. What is the situation? I recall clearly, as the rapporteur dealing with the EU-India Free Trade Agreement negotiations. going to India and speaking to them about how they should beef up their intellectual property protection and provisions. Today, I look at what they have and compare it to what we have and I am seriously envious. We have been left behind. What is the situation in the United States of America? They have issued three times more patents than us, and China twice as many. When one looks at the situation with regard to the growth in applications, it is the same. China, Japan and the United States of America have accounted for 82% of total growth. We cannot exaggerate the importance of this measure. It is vital and we have to respond to the situation. The need is real and urgent."@en1
