Risk-assessment policies: Differences across jurisdictions
report
posted on 2023-06-08, 07:44 authored by Erik Millstone, Patrick Van Zwanenberg, Les Levidow, Armin Spök, Hideyuki Hirakawa, Makiko MatsuoThis study examined how risk assessment policies are in practice being decided and operationalised at Codex and in five countries: the USA, the UK, Germany, Japan and Argentina. Our starting assumption was that, where public policy-making institutions formally take responsibility for risk appraisal and decision-making, some risk assessment policy assumptions arise, even if they are not explicitly acknowledged or labelled in those terms. We found that the choice was not between having a risk assessment policy and not having one, but between being explicit and transparent about RAP judgements, or being implicit and opaque.
