Foundations of Risk Regulation: Science, Decision-Making, Policy Learning and Institutional Reform
Giandomenico Majone
The long subtitle of this paper, appearing in the first issue of the EJRR – a publication which fills a serious gap in the scholarly literature of the old continent – identifies what I take to be the key terms of the current debate on risk regulation.
If in Doubt, Leave it Out? EU Precaution in WTO Regulatory Space
James Flett
This article reviews the way in which the concept of precaution, as commonly referenced in EU law, is received in the WTO. It argues that precaution is not a principle, but one facet of a principle of making rational judgments based on available information, the other facet of which is “that risk is worth taking”.
The Regulatory Challenge of Animal Cloning for Food – The Risks of Risk Regulation in the European Union
Maria Weimer
In this article I describe and analyse the current regulatory developments at EU level concerning the marketing of foods produced from cloned animals. As they are on the verge of commercialisation in countries outside the EU, especially in the United States, foods from cloned animals are likely to reach the European consumers in the foreseeable future. Yet at the moment there is no specific legal framework that regulates such products in the EU.

Prof. James T. O’Reilly
