Abstract
Drawing primarily on the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution (RCEP) report on the release of genetically engineered organisms (1989) and the report of the European Parliament's Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection, the authors identify and define 10 key elements of legislation which are important for the protection of the environment from the risks arising from the deliberate release of genetically engineered organisms. These elements are then used as a framework to evaluate the regulatory provisions of proposed and existing UK governmental controls. These controls are also compared with those in the new EC Directive on the deliberate release of genetically engineered organisms. The conclusions are that the existing and proposed UK provisions are lacking in their ability to protect the environment from the risks of the deliberate release of genetically engineered organisms.
