DE DONNEA (LDR). (FR) Mr President, pharmaceutical research is one of the most dynamic sectors of our Community.

Now not being a drug company, we could do certain things, we had certain flexibilities, that I respect that a pharmaceutical industry doesn't have.

You're unethical.

The Commission's proposal is a direct expression of the will of ESPIA, the European pharmaceutical industry's coordinating body, a fact which the Commission is at least honest enough to admit.

On the contrary, I am confronted with a picture of the European pharmaceutical industry that in no way accords with reality, an industry that would be threatened with rack and ruin if it had to compete on American and Japanese terms.

RIPA DI MEANA, Member of the Commission. (IT) Mr President, unlike the rapporteur, Mr Merz, who was able to escape and join us at least towards the end of the debate, Vice President Bangemann is still snowed in, so I shall be reading the remarks he would have made on behalf of the Commission.
