Royal support for Unitary Patent.

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands has mentioned in her 2012 speech from the throne and her 2012 Christmas Address to the People the advantages of the European Union and the introduction of a fast and payable European system of patent protection. On the occasion of her 75th birthday on 31st January 2013, there will be an exhibition ‘Beeld van Beatrix’ (image of Beatrix) in Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn organised by the NOS (Nederlandse Omroep Stichting) http://nos.nl/koningshuis/beeld-van-beatrix/ on pages 75, 83 and 99.
.
Pictures and sculptures made by the People of the Netherlands will be shown.
My contribution is two paintings, one of her 2012 address to the States General (her speech from the throne) and one of her address to the People on the occasion of Christmas 2012.

The pictures of the Queen have been framed by memorable words she has spoken.

These words are for the speech from the throne clockwise.
