| Résumé: | Lessons Drawn from Maintaining the Embargo on British Beef in 1999
The maintaining of the embargo on British beef in 1999 gives us important insights
into the differences between various committees. First of all, we see that committees
were not dealing with exactly the same questions. Secondly, that each committee more
or less implicitly adhered to a certain interpretation of the precautionary approach. And
finally, that important differences of opinion exist as to the nature of the risks involved,
in real or theoretical terms. The episode therefore enables us to better understand the
relationships between scientific expertise and risk management in a precautionary
context. |
