GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES:
Monitoring and Labeling for Genetically Modified Products

Alexander G. Haslberger

In response to growing concerns regarding the use of genetically modified food in Europe, revisions have been proposed to Directive 90/220 of the European Economic Community. The amendments would provide more specific guidance for risk assessment and monitoring as a way of reassuring the public about the safety of products introduced on the market. There is a clear need for the United States to harmonize with this approach if international trade is not to be impeded.
