It is a key book to understand and follow the ongoing EU debate and the issues surrounding it. The book provides global perspectives of biotech challenges in the world; it outlines the context and achievements of first (20th century) and second generation (21st century) biotechnologies, and it addresses regulatory concerns for biotech products (GMO & NGT) in the EU and in the world.
