They allegedly are underpinned by scie ntific uncertainty. To regulate such technologies and to ensure informatio n and safety\, the European Union has adopted a precautionary approach. Mo re specifically\, the EU regulatory frameworks rely on premarket authoriza tion and mandatory labelling. An analysis of the policy and regulatory pro visions addressing modern biotechnologies and their derived products in th e EU shows that gaps in the law and asymmetric relationships between compe ting European and national policies pose great risks to the EU food system and the environment.\n\nThe speaker\n\nDr. Ludivine Petetin is an Assista nt Professor at the School of Law of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. Her research focuses on the policy\, law and regulation of food\, agriculture and environmental protection.
