Grüne Gentechnik und Welthandel: Das Biosafety-Protokoll und seine Auswirkungen auf das Regime der WTO

Research output: Book/Report typesBookpeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive presentation and legal assessment of the Biosafety Protocol and its impact on the WTO world trade system. The first part provides an introduction to ‘green genetic engineering’, its basic principles, opportunities and risks; the second part then deals with the Biosafety Protocol, its origins, content and integration into the international regulatory framework. The effects of the protocol on the WTO system are then analysed. The compatibility of trade in LMOs under the provisions of the Biosafety Protocol with the rules of the WTO/GATT system is examined in order to then derive ideas for a common coexistence that takes into account a fair balance from the perspective of the structure of the WTO/GATT system.
