THE PRECAUTIONAY PRINCIPLE AS THE BASIS FOR LEGAL REGULATIONS IN THE FIELD OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to characterize and comment on EU nanotechnology regulation in the context of the precautionary principle. Nanotechnology involves the design, creation and use of materials having at least one dimension in the range of 1 nanometer (10-9m) to 100 nanometers (10-7m). Nanotechnology, thanks to numerous innovative applications, contributes to the realization of social challenges. Its use, however, involves scientific uncertainty regarding the impact of nanomaterials on human health and the environment. The Commission’s Communication “Regulatory Aspects of Nanomaterials” states that in situations where the full scale of threats is not known, but the concerns are so great that risk management measures are considered indispensable (as is currently in relation to nanomaterials), these measures must be based on the precautionary principle. Precautionary measures should be proportionate to the level of protection needed to ensure the safety of nanotechnology and the absence of restrictions on the development of this innovative technology<br/><br/>
