lpv:translated text	"This motion for a resolution was tabled following a Commission statement pursuant to Rule 110(2) of the Rules of Procedure, and concerns patenting essential biological processes. Around 800 patent applications are submitted every year, adding up to thousands in a few years. Although there are rules on patenting, we need greater legal certainty in this regard. Clearly, patents need to be protected, since registration thereof defends inventors, encourages research and stimulates the economy. However, not all genetic manipulation should be allowed. It should not be possible to patent natural products, such as plants and animals, and only crossing by traditional methods should be allowed. It is the future of the planet that is at stake. We need a climate of honesty, so life cannot be patented. I voted for this report because I argue that the process should be more transparent – companies cannot falsify data or use tricks – and that it should only be possible to patent something that is new and relevant to humanity."@en1
