The European Community and the legislating of the application and products of genetic modification technology

Article Abstract:

The EC is participating in the legislation of policies on the application and products of genetic modification technology to allay concerns regarding its safety to human health and the environment. Much of the work is carried out by the inter-service Biotechnology Coordinating Committee, which is headed by the EC Secretariat Gen. and consists of the Dir. Gen. of the various departments concerned with the differing aspects of biotechnology. The committee has already issued a policy framework to guide the use of GMT for industrial and research purposes.

The importance of environmental issues is such that it has even entered the economic agenda. Ecological modernization theory explains economic development in the context of ecological considerations.
