PREFACE These proceedings evolved from the OECD Co-operative Research Program workshop on “Challenges and Risks of GMOs – What Risk Analysis is Appropriate?” held in Maastricht, The Netherlands on 1618 July 2003. The OECD Co-operative Research Program for “Biological Resource Management” has existed since 1990. It focuses on work in four specific areas, two of which are “New agricultural products for sustainable farming and industry” (Theme 1) and “Connecting scientific progress to sustainable and integrated agro-food systems” (Theme 4). These themes include priority areas such as transgenic organisms in agriculture and societal options and responses to ensure the availability and quality of resources. It proposes to widen the variety of goods offered by the agricultural producers, and to encourage and increase opportunities to manage engineered crops including raw materials for the fine chemical industry. The other themes are “Quality of animal products and safety of food” and “Enhancing environmental quality in agricultural systems.” The activities promoted by this program are post-doctoral fellowships (announced annually) and the organization of expert workshops (1-2 workshops per Theme per year). Currently participating countries in the program are; Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. For further information about the OECD program, contact Mrs. Liliane Shettle, Head of the Program, Directorate for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, OECD 2 rue Andre Pascal, F-75775 Paris Cedex France (email [email protected], or consult the Internet site of the OECD (www.oecd.org/agr/prog/). The workshop on “Challenges and Risks of GMOs - What Risk Analysis is Appropriate?” was motivated the fact that GMOs are facing a rather divergent public dispute all over the world with regards to environmental, safety and economic issues. This workshop complimented a training offered by the Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University (AMSU) and the European Institute for Public Administration (EIPA) for agency representatives from various countries. Presentations and discussions made it obvious that while the European Union now operates with one currency, many other types of policy decision remain to be worked out. Numerous examples illustrated the apparent dilemma between being politically correct in discussions between EU member countries while attempting to reach a consensus and still making progress on the issue at hand. The issue of coexistence between organic, conventional, and GM-based producers was thoroughly discussed. Organic producers recently unsuccessfully petitioned to totally ban GM technologies from Northern Austria by suggesting the appropriateness of an artificially low level of GM contamination (
