European Biotechnology Regulation: Framing the Risk Assessment of a Herbicide-Tolerant Crop
Science Technology & Human Values, 1997Co-Authors: Les Levidow, Susan Carr, David Wield, René Von SchombergAbstract:As products of the "new biotechnology," genetically modified organisms have provoked a wide-ranging risk debate on potential harm, especially from Herbicide-Tolerant Crops. In response to this legitimacy problem, the European Community adopted precautionary legislation, which left open the definition of environmental harm. When the U.K. proposed Europe-wide market approval of a Herbicide-Tolerant oilseed rape (canola), the proposal encountered dissent from some countries and environmentalisi groups. Further debate on normative judgments became necessary to implement the precaution- ary legislation. In dispute were several regulatory boundaries-of administrative re- sponsibility, causality, acceptability, and evidence. The boundary disputes expressed divergent framings of biotechnological risk, each with its implicit model of the socionatu- ral order In this way, the disputes can illuminate the sorts of risk framings that have already become embedded and standardized in other regulatory sectors.

Bounding the Risk Assessment of a Herbicide Tolerant Crop
1996Co-Authors: Les Levidow, Susan Carr, René Von Schomberg, David WieldAbstract:About the book: The negative response of environmental and consumer groups to the introduction of transgenic foodstuffs and Crops has revealed a need for more public discussions around the issues. This book looks at everything from the science of risk assessment to regulatory considerations and political conditions. This is the beginning of a much-needed public debate on the issues arising from transgenics. People in the countries surveyed show the ability to balance benefits and risk of science and technology. This calls for public involvement in the process of risk definition and assessment.

scientific opinion on an application from pioneer hi bred international and dow agrosciences llc efsa gmo nl 2005 23 for placing on the market of genetically modified maize 59122 for food and feed uses import processing and cultivation under regulati
EFSA Journal, 2013Co-Authors: Salvatore Arpaia, Nicholas Birch, Andrew Chesson, Patrick Du Jardin, Achim Gathmann, Jurgen Gropp, Lieve Herman, Hildegunn Hoensorteberg, Huw Jones, Jozsef KissAbstract:This Scientific Opinion reports on a risk assessment on an application for placing on the market of genetically modified maize 59122 for import and processing for food and feed uses and cultivation. The EFSA GMO Panel considers that maize 59122 is unlikely to have any adverse effect on the environment, except for the possible evolution of resistance to the Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 proteins in coleopteran target pests. The Panel recommends the implementation of appropriate and diversified insect resistance management strategies and case-specific monitoring to delay and monitor the possible evolution of resistance to Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 in coleopteran target pests, respectively. In addition, the Panel recommends revision of the applicants’ insect resistance management plan and the proposed post-market environmental monitoring plan. Although maize 59122 is Tolerant to glufosinate-ammonium-based Herbicides, the Panel did not assess the potential adverse effects associated with the use of such Herbicides on maize 59122, as maize 59122 will not be marketed in the European Union as a Herbicide-Tolerant Crop. This Scientific Opinion updates the previous Panel safety evaluation of the food and feed uses, and import and processing of maize 59122 and derived products. The Panel concludes that the information available for maize 59122 addresses the scientific comments raised by Member States and that maize 59122, as described in this application, is as safe as its conventional counterpart and commercial maize varieties with respect to potential adverse effects on human and animal health. If subjected to appropriate management measures, the cultivation of maize 59122 is unlikely to raise safety concerns for the environment.
