SUMMARY
This paper describes work in progress to develop European
standards in biotechnology. It describes the scope of the
programme, giving the titles of the 54 standards being
developed by four working groups of a Technical Committee of
the European Standards Organisation, CEN, and considers the
technical, legal and political difficulties which have been
experienced. The standards being developed cover aspects of
biotechnology that have direct relevance to biosafety of
people and the environment.
