""precautionary principle"
op de website van eu staat o.m. dit:
http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/ ... 042_en.htmThe burden of proof
In most cases, European consumers and the associations which represent them must demonstrate the danger associated with a procedure or a product placed on the market, except for medicines, pesticides and food additives.
However, in the case of an action being taken under the precautionary principle, the producer, manufacturer or importer may be required to prove the absence of danger. This possibility shall be examined on a case-by-case basis. It cannot be extended generally to all products and procedures placed on the market.
Men moet dus voor men iets doet en er is geen wetenschappelijke 'consenus" ( dat is dus wat anders dan bewijs!!!!), het afwezigheid van gevaar bewijzen! Niet te doen natuurlijk!
En er staat letterlijk dat dit nog veel verder gaat!
The precautionary principle is detailed in Article 191 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (EU). It aims at ensuring a higher level of environmental protection through preventative decision-taking in the case of risk. However, in practice, the scope of this principle is far wider and also covers consumer policy, European legislation concerning food and human, animal and plant health.
