lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the world is in the midst of a technical revolution which has essentially been positive for the people of Europe. The Internet makes services such as unlimited access to music, films and books at the click of a button possible, and someone who lives in the rural area where I grew up, in Kalix in northern Sweden, has the same access to culture as someone who lives in a big cultural city like Paris or London. The basic principles behind our copyright legislation must still be valid in the digital age too, but we also need to have the courage to see that the new era means that some old systems have to be modernised and simplified. Collective rights management is one such system that needs to be adapted to the 21st century. Those who are to provide the digital cultural services of the future must have a simpler time of it than is currently the case. It is unreasonable for a small company to have to employ legions of lawyers to negotiate rights in 27 countries over a long period in order to be able to provide access to a broad range of European works. We need to realise that European solutions are required to tear down barriers to trade and open up opportunities for entrepreneurs. Major changes like those we are currently experiencing create nervousness and, I assume, a reflex to want to hold onto what we have instead of creating and reaching out for something better. That is how I interpret the Commission’s sluggishness in this matter. The procedure that was carried out was far too long-winded. Europe now needs political leadership which will demonstrate that we can do more and do it better. I therefore expect more of you, Commissioner Barnier, and you can be sure that I and the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe will essentially contribute in a constructive and pragmatic way to drawing up suitable proposals for a functional internal digital market designed for the 21st century."@en1
