Abstract

This paper analyses the public debate about labelling genetically modified food products. It presents the general lines of argument given by proponents and opponents of labelling, based on the debate in one country of the European Union (Spain). It defends labelling on the grounds that citizens as consumers in a market economy should have the possibility of exerting influence on the direction of the development of technology and its products. That way, the free market can integrate and transmit social and other values and act as a tool of socio-political change. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
