More DescriptionThe Berne Symposium invited leading scientists of risk assessmentresearch with transgenic crops on an international level in order toenhance the discussion regulators and members of the biotech industry.The goal was to determine the status quo and also to make progress intimes of a first global spread of transgenes in agrosystems about riskassessment. The dialogue between scientists, regulators and industryrepresentatives also revealed some lacunes of risk assessment research,which will have to be filled in the future: We still lack longtermexperience, for which we will have to collect data with scientificprecision. The symposium concluded asking for a risk-oriented longtermmonitoring system based on critical science and hard data.This volume presents the discussion sessions as well as the scientificcontributions and thus mirrors the risk assessment debate, based not onexaggerated negative scenarios but on critical science and hard data.
