Gallo Report: Copyright & patent dogmatism at its worst at the European Parliament

Submitted on 29 January 2010

Brussels, January 29th, 2010 - The draft 1 of the Gallo2 report on strengthening the enforcement of "intellectual property rights" (IPR) in the Internal Market has been presented in the JURI commission of the European Parliament. This initiative report3 is a response to a communication of the Commission on the same topic, which La Quadrature has already strongly condemned 4. The document has only one merit: it provides a perfect example of the worst kind of IPR dogmatism.

1. http://www.laquadrature.net/files/GalloReport-20100128.pdf
2. Marielle Gallo, rapporteur of this "IPR enforcement" report, is a French EPP Member of the European Parliament.
3. A non-legislative position of the European Parliament preparing or encouraging legislative initiative

Quote of the day

"As already stated on 6 October, the Commission can accept this amendment (138), which was voted by a nine-tenths majority in the European Parliament plenary (MEMO/08/681). The Commission considers this amendment to be an important restatement of key legal principles of the Community legal order, especially of citizens' fundamental rights. It leaves Member States sufficient scope for reaching a fair balance between different fundamental rights, in particular the right to respect for private life, the right to protection of property, the right to an effective remedy and the right to freedom of expression and information."
