Madam Chair, for far too long the west has violently appropriated, not only people of African decent to grow Europe; they have also taken African innovations and African resources. Also vulnerable to this abuse has been the right of authors to protect their intellectual work and not have this taken from them by unscrupulous people.
It is because of this support to creative and intellectual work that the EFF government will promote home-grown development for our people's capacity to write their own stories.
