Satellite Symposium 5: Molecular Breeding
Description
The regulation of GM agriculture in Europe is a matter of considerable public interest. The development of a regulatory framework has imposed significant additional costs without generating broad public acceptance. However, the current risk assessment and management framework does provide a basis for considering how the broader issues surrounding the introduction of any novel agricultural technology might be approached.
