"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution, which reiterates the principle that plant and animal varieties and essentially biological processes for the production of plants or animals, as well as all derivative products of conventional reproduction, shall not be patentable. The Commission had appealed against the European Patent Office granting patents on tomatoes and broccoli. I maintain that intellectual property rights are essential – and in this case, vital – for stimulating the development of new plant varieties and plant-related innovations. Patents allow small and medium-sized enterprises, especially, to add impetus to growth and innovation and help European businesses to stand up to the economic crisis and global competition."@en1
