May I come back to Mrs Thors and say that as far as small and medium-sized enterprises are concerned, the Commission proposal does not take away any possibilities for small and medium-sized enterprises to partake of inventions published by the European Patent Office.
Må jeg vende tilbage til fru Thors og sige, at for så vidt angår små og mellemstore virksomheder, fjerner Kommissionens forslag ikke nogen muligheder, som små og mellemstore virksomheder har for at drage nytte af opfindelser, der bliver offentliggjort af Det Europæiske Patentkontor.
