Details

Commissioner Monti clarified the following four points: - the new Group on Ethics, Science and New Technologies would be independent and could be questioned by Parliament when the latter wished; - embryos, on which the EP’s position had been taken over by the Council as it had excluded any manipulation to exploit the embryo; - biological diversity which the Community had heavily committed to defend: for example, in the case of Basmati rice, which was covered by a patent in the United States of America, the directive in question would forbid such a patent because this was not an invention but a vegetable variety which was specifically excluded; - welfare of animals whose protection was ensured by safeguards in the proposed directive so that any suffering or mutilation of animals would be totally prohibited.

Details

The rapporteur urged Parliament to accept the directive in question. He said, among other things, that his support for this went beyond the issue of patents to the defence of the right to life and work and also the essential need for Europe to make progress in the area of biotechnologies. As for the effective protection of patents, this went hand in hand with research. Without the legal certainty provided by patents, he added that research would be conducted behind closed doors and it would no longer be possible to follow and discuss its achievements. In addition, rejection of the directive would destroy the small and medium-sized businesses that survived on the sale of patents. Finally, Mr Rothley acknowledged that patent law could never resolve the ethical questions as it was solely intended to prohibit the unauthorised use of someone else’s invention and was actually part of the law governing competition. Commissioner Monti stated that the new proposal for a directive was intended to respond to the concerns of the European Parliament, particularly with regard to the difference between discovery and invention and the ethical aspect of biotechnological inventions, particularly those concerning isolated elements of the human body. In this respect, the Commissioner stressed that even the Amsterdam European Council had included respect for the integrity of human beings in its conclusions. He then accepted all the rapporteur’s amendments as well as Nos 67, 69, 77, 79 and 99 among the other amendments tabled. Finally, he said he was counting on the rapid adoption of the directive by the Council, by November at the latest, as this was one of the four initiatives under the action plan for the single market which the Member States had committed to adopt before 1 January 1999.

  • date: 1997-07-15T00:00:00 type: Debate in Parliament body: EP summary: The rapporteur urged Parliament to accept the directive in question. He said, among other things, that his support for this went beyond the issue of patents to the defence of the right to life and work and also the essential need for Europe to make progress in the area of biotechnologies. As for the effective protection of patents, this went hand in hand with research. Without the legal certainty provided by patents, he added that research would be conducted behind closed doors and it would no longer be possible to follow and discuss its achievements. In addition, rejection of the directive would destroy the small and medium-sized businesses that survived on the sale of patents. Finally, Mr Rothley acknowledged that patent law could never resolve the ethical questions as it was solely intended to prohibit the unauthorised use of someone else’s invention and was actually part of the law governing competition. Commissioner Monti stated that the new proposal for a directive was intended to respond to the concerns of the European Parliament, particularly with regard to the difference between discovery and invention and the ethical aspect of biotechnological inventions, particularly those concerning isolated elements of the human body. In this respect, the Commissioner stressed that even the Amsterdam European Council had included respect for the integrity of human beings in its conclusions. He then accepted all the rapporteur’s amendments as well as Nos 67, 69, 77, 79 and 99 among the other amendments tabled. Finally, he said he was counting on the rapid adoption of the directive by the Council, by November at the latest, as this was one of the four initiatives under the action plan for the single market which the Member States had committed to adopt before 1 January 1999.

  • date: 1998-05-11T00:00:00 type: Debate in Parliament body: EP summary: Commissioner Monti clarified the following four points: - the new Group on Ethics, Science and New Technologies would be independent and could be questioned by Parliament when the latter wished; - embryos, on which the EP’s position had been taken over by the Council as it had excluded any manipulation to exploit the embryo; - biological diversity which the Community had heavily committed to defend: for example, in the case of Basmati rice, which was covered by a patent in the United States of America, the directive in question would forbid such a patent because this was not an invention but a vegetable variety which was specifically excluded; - welfare of animals whose protection was ensured by safeguards in the proposed directive so that any suffering or mutilation of animals would be totally prohibited.
