Row over conflicts of interest of Klaus-Heiner Lehne MEP

Row over conflicts of interest of Klaus-Heiner Lehne MEP: "German web fora have been agitated by online discussions and news articles about apparent interest conflicts of Klaus Heiner Lehne MEP, who, as a coordinator of the European People's Party in the Legal Affairs Committee, strongly opposed all amendments that had any limiting effect on patentability or enforcability, and actively fought in JURI as well as in Berlin and elsewhere for widest possible patentability. It now appears that Lehne works as a Brussels lobbying consultant for multinational corporations who are the main clients of one of the leading lawfirms for patent litigation in Europe, which is also itself involved in patent lobbying and closely connected to lobbying organisations."

HOW many scandals has to come to the surface before the MEP understand that they are cheated??? Is it so difficult to understand that sometimes the multinationals have oposite interest than the society???
