Abstract

The rapid development of biotechnology and nanotechnology?in the end has great prospects for environmental protection in the finding of new ways of pollution and waste cleaning and of renewable resource exploitation. But the new?technologies also brought with them new regulatory issues, because the new technologies are accompanied by potential threats to ecosystems and human health. The objective of this paper is to examine legal trends and issues of both the biotechnology and nanotechnology regulation for environmental protection at international as well as?national levels. This article is based on the examination of the present laws and the fact that the preventive principle does not?exist in the current laws is the main topic of the discussion on the found loopholes in the present systems of regulation. The report also presents the EU chemicals law as a statutory regime of?extremely detailed prescriptive standards, the US system as relatively far more flexible than that in the EU, and emerging statutory solutions and approaches in developing countries. The?article also touches upon international agreements on biotechnological and nanotechnological impacts on the environment, specifically the Convention on Biological Diversity or the Nagoya Protocol. Moreover, ethical and social issues are a central issue in the paper, as is?the question of public engagement with the regulation. Accordingly, identifying the directions of?potential strengthening of current legal regulation, as is done in the present article helps expand our vision on how and in what way the law might and should move to meet new technologies and to support the development of environment and vibrationally stable development It is customary to say that the relationship of the man to the environment should not necessarily be hostile; however, this relationship should be characterized by its ambivalence.
