- Abstract
Although Article 26 of the Cartagena Protocol enables countries to take into account socio-economic aspects in decision-making with respect to Living Modified Organisms (LMOs), translating that into practice has not been easy. Countries have followed different approaches; while some countries have chosen to use a comprehensive list of socio-economic impacts they want to assess, some countries have not given to this much importance. This article explains the need for taking socio-economic aspects into account and analyses the practices followed in this. It suggests a model that differentiates technology regulation from decision-making taking into account the socio-economic aspects. This model takes into account the socio-economic aspects in four stages of commercialisation and it is suggested as a suitable model for developing countries.
