Abstract:

Based on the precautionary approach, new, unfamiliar products or processes are subject toa risk evaluation before carrying out any intended use. The behavior of GMO’s was deemed tobe new — therefore unpredictable — enough lo warrant such careful evaluation in order toreduce the risk of harm to human health and the environment. Over the past years, severalstudies have focussed on environmental interactions of model transgenic crops, e.g. oilseed rape,Brassica napus, in different eco systems in North-America and Europe. Based on the experiencewith field releases of genetically modified higher plants, the data requirements for such requestswere adapted in Europe. In other cases, e.g. in the USA and in the UK, the requirements forcertain crops were streamlined, covering different traits. In this respect, the step-by-step, caseby-case approach allowed to identify relevant environmental issues, thereby creating a comfortlevel of “familiarity”. With the acquisition of familiarity, a basis is created for focussed riskanalysis, which is now leading to the first commercial introductions of genetically modified crops.
