Abstract

<jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Public and political views on the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and on the role of biotechnology continue to be extremely polarised in Europe.

In order to address public concerns and strengthen its regulatory framework, the EU reviewed its legislation on GMOs between 1997 and 2003.
