| The development of transgenic technology has been widely used in medical, health and scientific research.. In the moment the development of genetically modified food is particularly rapid, genetically modified crops are different from the traditional crops, because of its excellent quality, strong adaptability, considerable output, etc.. But genetically modified food has its irreparable defects, the high-tech of the food caused its high risk, especially the safety issues worrying. So we should pay special attention to the public participation in the safety of genetically modified food.Because of the particularity of genetically modified food, with the traditional foods have many differences, it is not only related to national security, but also related to the public health,the genetically modified foods need national legislation to regulate, and formulate the laws and regulations must let the public participate. However, the current domestic laws and regulations on the safety of genetically modified food are only unilaterally formulated by the legislative branch, and the safety legislation of genetically modified food is lack of public participation.. In order to ensure the rationality of the safety law of genetically modified food,we must protect the rights of the public participation in the legislation and improve the form of the food safety legislation.At the same time in the formulation of laws and regulations on the safety of genetically modified food, to prevent behind closed doors. Through the study, learn from other countriesin the legislative participation in the relevant experience, combined with their own situation to develop a reasonable system, so that the public to participate in the legislation. In the various links of the legislation, including the legislation, the legislation and the legislation must protect the public’s legislative participation rights. In the process of legislation, through the use of various scientific and technological means, such as network, micro channel, media, etc., to build a comprehensive and effective way of the legalization of public participation.The article is divided into four sections.Part one: focuses on GM food safety legislation and public participation. This section describes the food and genetically modified food and two aspects of genetically modified food.The practical requirements of public participation for the particularity of GM food safety legislation.Part two: Introduces Changes of GM Food Safety Legislation. Analyze from the view of legislators develop from single body to pluralism, content changes from abstract to concrete and legal hierarchy changes from low to high. Interpret the legal and policy basis of the public participation to genetically modified food safety legislation. Introduce the form of bottom-up public participation and its feasibility.Part three:The experience of public participation in the safety of genetically modified food is introduced in this paper. Research on the public participation of genetically modified food safety legislation in the world. In Japan, for example, American legislative public system and inform the evaluation procedure, Canada’s online to seek the views of the system, the consensus conference to solicit public views on the system, Korean citizen conference. These countries of genetically modified food safety legislation of public participation are combined with the national conditions should be formulated. Therefore, our country in foreign GM food safety legislation of public participation, to according to the actual situation in the country, for the development of our country’s public participation and the way.Part four: The suggestion of the public participation in the safety legislation of genetically modified food is proposed.. In the course of the legislation, the discussion and the legislation of the entire legislation, the public participation should be widely used.. This will not only protect the right to know, participate in the right to participate, but also help to thesafety of genetically modified food and scientific management. |
