It is not that I am against the sovereign right of the Member States to come to enhanced cooperation agreements among themselves, including in relation to patents. However, no guarantee has been given to us concerning the ecological and hygienic standards that will be applied during the approval process for these patents, in particular, concerning genetically modified organisms.
Non pas que je sois contre le droit souverain des États membres de passer des accords de coopération renforcée entre eux, y compris en matière de brevet, mais aucune garantie ne nous est donnée quant aux normes écologiques et sanitaires qui présideront à la validation de tels brevets, notamment concernant les OGM.
