Abstract  

The EU has been at the forefront of the world in risk prevention,Its legal regulation of genetically modified organisms has always pursued the precautionary principle.Under the guidance of this principle,the EU has set up a very stringent legal framework for the regulation of GMOs and applies the principle to all aspects of the regulation of GMOs.Limited by the abstractness,fuzziness and other defects of the precautionary principle,the principle in EU regulation of GMO has causes some problems such as:member states abused protective measures and EU international trade frictions intensified,which has made the application of the precautionary principle in dilemma.The EU is trying to get out of the dilemma by law amendment and Court of Justice of the European Union’s judicial interpretation,and make the precautionary principle more effective.Our country has a similar understanding and application of the precautionary principle as the EU, and the existing legal framework is too harsh on the regulation of GMOs.Drawing on the experience of other countries and based on the needs of the local community,we should,at present,fully understand the precautionary principle and re-examine the relationship between science and law and appropriately relax the legal supervision over GMOs.



Key wordsThe EU      Precautionary principle      GMO      Legal regulation      Risk prevention
