Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): WALSMANN Marion (EPP)
Summary

This own-initiative dossier concerns an intellectual property action plan to support the EU's recovery and resilience. The amendments address harmonising IP legislation and enforcement, IPR registration access for SMEs and micro-enterprises, counterfeiting and piracy, and a unitary patent system and SPC. Some support stronger IPR protection while others warn against upload filtering and offensive IPR strategies, raising COVID-19 and the digital single market.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
