“…Often the major cause of the drop in demand is to be found in the difficulty that consumers have in assessing the actual health risk associated with the consumption of the involved products. Health risk, in fact, is the result of many factors that define the risk generating process (see Metcalfe et al 2002), which include contamination, exposure and dose-response. All these factors interact in a possibly complex way to determine the actual risk function.…”

"Currently there is ample discussion among EU Institutions (European Commission, European Parliament, and Member States' governments) on the opportunity for setting up a comprehensive EU-wide framework on risk and crises in agriculture. In the meantime, within the limits of the WTO rules on agriculture, national governments are allowed to intervene through direct compensation to farmers in case of exceptional events that cause damages to farming operations and through subsidies to crop insurance programs. Such schemes are quite expensive for domestic budgets and some Member States are trying to switch some of their cost to the Community's budget, although an expansion of financial resources devoted to agriculture in Europe is rather unlikely. Moving from the recently emanated proposal of the European Commission, this paper discusses the main issues related to public intervention for risk and crises management in agriculture."
