"The single market is a great success that needs to be completed. I congratulate the 25 countries that have now enabled inventors to access automatic protection throughout the European Union. The resistance of Spain and Italy to this policy is regrettable. The process will reduce costs and improve efficiencies, bringing a huge benefit to businesses that rely on intellectual property rights. They can already rely on a common trademark policy; they will now be able to depend on a common patent policy as well. I welcome the compromise which limits the role of the ECJ in areas of substantive patent law; as not all patent applications will be pan-European, it is critical that we ensure that national courts retain their right to interpret national law in areas where European law is not applicable. The aim is to create a European single market where citizens need the scale that 500 million consumers can bring to grow their businesses. It is not to impose changes where none is required. That is why I support this proposal."@en1
