"I welcome this Directive and have voted in favour of the report as I believe that it is fair to allow living artists to receive a share of the resale value of their work. In this way it recognises the contribution that the artist has made to cultural values. However, while supporting this Directive I would also note caution and expect the Commission to recognise that there is still work to be done on this front. Such a Directive will continue to negatively affect particularly small business in Europe, for example, small specialist auction houses, unless the Commission does more work to look at the costs and bureaucratic burdens placed on small dealers. The Commission should also actively encourage third countries to introduce resale rights. Otherwise we could see a mass exodus to outside markets where such levies do not apply. I welcome the call in this report for an assessment of the impacts of this Directive and would hope that the Commission addresses any lack of global competitiveness arising from this. I look forward to working with the rapporteur on ensuring that the Directive does not negatively affect European business."@en1
