Book Description
The debate about the use of genetically modified organisms in European agriculture is fuelled by the fear of the general public about potential risks of GM farming, whether substantiated or not. Transgenic food is suspected to cause bodily harm, have a negative impact upon the health of animals, weaken the productivity of conventional farmland, reduce biodiversity or otherwise deteriorate the environment, to name but a few dangers popping up in the public debate. Apart from setting standards for GM farming and requiring safety checks for transgenic products, all jurisdictions also provide for the case that such risks should materialize. These are not necessarily novel approaches - classic tort law already offers remedies for such losses. Sometimes these traditional solutions are enhanced or replaced by alternative redress schemes. This volume compares twenty European and four non-European jurisdictions in this respect and provides special analyses from an economic and insurance perspective as well as surveys of cross-border dispute resolution and international law.

Book Description
La faceta reparadora del Derecho Medioambiental va tomando cada vez más importancia ante actividades potencialmente contaminantes. El seguro de responsabilidad civil es una de las posibles soluciones, quizá la más clásica y frecuentemente utilizada, ante el problema de la reparación de los daños medioambientales. Las actividades industriales y empresariales, encaminadas a la producción de bienes y servicios necesarios para la vida en las sociedades industrializadas, tienen por medio de esta cobertura una forma de externalización de las consecuencias económicas de los riesgos medioambientales. Esta monografía es un estudio de este tipo de seguros partiendo de la práctica existente en el mercado asegurador español, y de acuerdo con nuestro Derecho vigente, aunque se interpreta de conformidad con el Derecho comunitario y, especialmente, con la Directiva 2004/35/CE del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo de 21 de abril de 2004 sobre responsabilidad medioambiental en relación con la prevención y reparación de daños medioambientales, a la que deberá adaptarse nuestro Ordenamiento en un futuro próximo. Este libro ofrece a los profesionales del sector asegurador, juristas y estudiosos, así como a los empresarios interesados en la contratación de estos seguros, una detallada y sistemática visión de los mismos.

Book Description
Hardbound. Our modern economies consume annually about 4.6 billion metric tons of crude oil, a third of which is shipped across the oceans. Along the way, about 3 million metric tons are lost into the environment, primarily through handling in ports, but also leakage at sea. So, the threat of a major ecological disaster is always present, for example the Exxon Valdez, Braer and Sea Empress accidents. In addition to oil leakage from tankers, considerable quantities of oil enter the sea from operational discharges or bunker spills. Fortunately, current international agreements, though not always strictly enforced, have greatly reduced the threat of oil pollution.The oceans are faced with an onslaught from many other sources. The potential for radioactive pollution of the seas, through dumping of nuclear wastes or an accident to a ship carrying radioactive nuclear wastes, has never been absent from the public mind. Recently, people have become more awar
