Landmark Europe's report focuses on the promising but controversial area of nanotechnology. This report is an essential tool for all those interested in this fast moving, complex area and any business using or contemplating using nano-sized particles in their products. It covers all aspects of the issue, from the EU's policy and regulatory framework to consumer opinion, industry initiatives to safety and risk assessment. Above all, it provides a unique, insightful and expert look at the debates framing Europe's approach to this exciting technology, with key recommendations for all stakeholders wishing to shape this framework.
With the new European Parliament and new Commission, the coming five years will be critical in deciding Europe's future policy and regulatory framework for nanotech. It will also provide a unique opportunity for stakeholders to shape policy that will have far-reaching consequences on manufacturers and users of consumer products. In the context of this debate, organisations will have to manage a broad range of economic and socio-political factors. Businesses will need to understand the risks that may impact their activities, engage effectively with other stakeholders, and address openly and honestly any public concerns.
This report sets out all the key elements of this fast-moving, complex area and provides a clear and up-to-date overview and analysis of the scientific, socio-economic and ethical debates. It includes the results of an opinion survey Landmark carried out of EU-level stakeholders and opinion formers.
