The Precautionary Principle

Biotechnology is one of the great innovations of our time. While Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) present an advance in food safety and other fields, GMOs also pose risks to human health and biodiversity that are still subject to scientific uncertainty. Given the scientific uncertainty about the risks to people and the environment, the precautionary principle acquires a central role in the debate on these organisms. At the same time, the existence of an adequate regulatory framework that allows the management of those risks becomes critical.

Court Of Justice

On July 25, 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU, the Court) rendered its judgment in the case C-528/16, Confédération paysanne and Others. It is a landmark decision in that the Court essentially decided that genome-edited organisms are “genetically modified organisms” (GMOs) governed by the EU's regulatory framework on GMOs without exception.

AbstractPublic and political views on the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and on the role of biotechnology continue to be extremely polarised in Europe. The EU started legislating on the authorisation and use of GMOs in the early 1990s. Despite the early regulation of this complex field, agricultural applications of biotechnology continue to be very controversial. In order to address public concerns and strengthen its regulatory framework, the EU reviewed its legislation on GMOs between 1997 and 2003. The cornerstone of the regulatory framework is Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment of GMOS, whose provisions for placing on the market are the main focus of this article. The implementation of the Directive to date and the difficulties encountered will be briefly analysed.

This article contains information on genetically modified organisms, their risks, and adverse effects, including on the human genome. An analysis of existing legislation in the field of genetically modified organisms is performed. As a result of the study, it was found that existing legislation does not provide effective protection of the human genome. The existing regulations in the Republic of Moldova in the field of genetically modified organisms correspond to international acts, but at the same time are inefficient and insufficient. There is a need to amend existing legislation, including by supplementing criminal and misdemeanor law with new regulations to ensure effective protection of that area. In drafting this paper, the international, regional, and national regulatory framework governing the field of the human genome, as well as that of genetically modified organisms, as well as a vast doctrinal framework in the field of genetically modified organisms were studied and used. The following methods were used: logic, analysis, and synthesis, systemic, empirical. At the end of the article, some proposals of the ferenda law were submitted, meant to cover the existing gaps in the legislation.
