Abstract

This Essay will seek to explain EU regulatory practice in relation to new technologies, principally GMOs, and to show that the EU should be able to find an approach that meets public concerns while remaining consistent with Article XX, paragraphs (b) and (g). This Essay will also identify those areas where Article XX, in its present form, it likely to be a source of justified public concern.
