CABI Book Chapter

The regulation of agricultural biotechnology.

Description

The regulatory systems in place prior to the development and expansion of agricultural biotechnology are still responding to this new form of technology. Such systems include trade law, intellectual property law, contract law, environmental regulations and biosafety regulations. This book reviews these reforms which are aimed at achieving a regulatory system supported by consumers and other politi...

Chapter 6 (Page no: 67)

The rationale behind WTO agreements and agricultural GMO controversy.

This chapter deals with the trade implications of the different policy and regulatory options currently adopted for managing the main issues raised by the recent large diffusion of genetically modified (GM) crops. It focuses on the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations and the conflicts that emerged in this context with respect to the GMO trade. The analysis is based on the recent theoretical contributions on the WTO agreements as Pareto-enhancing devices. The chapter analyses under which conditions this approach to the WTO negotiations can maintain its requisites in the case of trade in genetically modified organisms. In other words, under which conditions negotiating countries can find a satisfactory agreement for trading GM products.
