美国与欧盟的转基因食品安全性政策演变比对(英文)

随着转基因食品的研究与发展,人们对待转基因食品的态度表现为主要以美国和欧盟为主的两种代表性政策美国采取遵循可靠科学原则,坚决反对预防原则,即对转基因食品采取积极支持,自愿标识的宽松政策;欧盟采取谨慎预防原则,必须标识和可追溯从管理原则出发,结合相应采取的监管措施和相关条例,对两国从开始颁布转基因食品政策到当下态势的发展,并结合最新出台的政策进行跟踪分析,比对美国及欧盟对这些指令和条例的执行情况。

Comparison of the Evolution of Genetically Modified Food Safety Policies between the United States and the European Union

With the research on and development of Genetically Modified Food (GMF),people’s attitude toward GMF may fall into two divergent categories,typically represented by the United States(US) and the European Union(EU),respectively.The former follows a "sound science principle" and firmly objects to the precautionary principle,namely a permissive policy of positive support of and voluntary labelling on GMF; while the latter adopts a cautiously precautionary principle,requiring mandatory labelling and traceability.From the standpoint of regulatory principles,together with corresponding supervisory measures and relevant provisions,this paper compared the execution of directives and provisions on GMF from the initial policies enacted by the US and EU to current situation combined with the track and analysis of latest polic ies issued.
