CONTROLE DU RISQUE ET EXPERTISE : France : la précaution entre expertise et débat public Le cas des plantes transgéniques

Abstract: Résumé : Depuis 1996, la commercialisation des premières plantes transgéniques s'est accompagnée d'un large débat en France (et en Europe). La controverse qui s'est ainsi développée a été le théâtre d'un processus d'appropriation par des acteurs hétérogènes de questions qui avaient été jusqu'alors essentiellement traitées par un cercle restreint d'intervenants réunis autour de quelques instances officielles de contrôle, dont principalement la Commission du génie biomoléculaire (CGB) chargée de délivrer des avi… Show more

“…By the summer of 1997, French public policy on agricultural GMOs was in total disarray and this had important economic and political implications (Marris, 2000a). This surprised many stakeholders, because until 1996 all potential conflict seemed to have been resolved, in France, through the construc-tion of an apparently effective "sciencebased" regulatory system (Gotweiss, 1998;Roy, 2000;Roy and Joly, 2000). In contrast to some other European countries, notably Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, public policy was broadly supportive toward the development of agricultural biotechnologies; the media showed very little interest in the topic; there were no significant campaigns by French non-governmental organisations (NGOs) representing environmental or consumer interests; no debate in agricultural circles; and no visible controversy among scientists about the risks associated with GMOs.…”

“…He had been Chair of the Commission du Génie Biomoléculaire (CGB), the expert committee which had evaluated and supported the application, since its inception in 1986. This signalled an important breach in the relationship between experts and public decision-makers, which had until then followed a linear model founded on delegation of responsibility from politicians to experts (Roy, 2000;Roy and Joly, 2000).…”
