The aim of the Conference Rio+20 which took place in June 2012 was to find appropriate ways to achieve sustainable development. The main theme of the Conference was the green economy whis is considered as one of the principals instruments to reach this goal. The subject of the article is to answer whether GMOs are a chance for food security or a threat to sustainable development? If we arrive at conclusion that genetically modified organism is the threat to sustainable development, it will not be recognized as a part of green economy. EU and USA law on GMO serves as a base for reflections. The article is divided into two parts: general and specific. The first part presents the definition of sustainable development, food security and genetically modified organisms. The second part describes precautionary principle and principle of equality which determined EU and USA law on GMO.

The aim of this investigation is to present the results obtained during the survey of Lithuanian consumers in order to identify their attitudes towards food with genetically modified organisms (GMO). Investigating the consumers approach to genetically modified (GM) food, the following were considered: consumers’ opinions on GMO were analyzed, their knowledge about the presence of food containing GMO on the Lithuanian market, the mandatory GM food labelling, the behavior to a transgenic product while shopping, as well as consumers’ willingness to purchase such products. Data were gathered through a survey of 1000 Lithuanian residents. The empirical results indicated that the majority of the respondents’ attitudes towards food containing GMO are negative. The older consumers with less income are more against GM food compared to younger, wealthier households. 72% of consumers know that if the food contains GMO it must be indicated on the label. However, many consumers who oppose GMO do not try to avoid paying attention to the components of the product listed on its label. Only about a quarter of consumers while buying a product look for such information. This indicates that consumers are not really interested in whether or not the product contains GMO

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przedstawienie wyników badań na temat nastawienia litewskich konsumentów do żywności genetycznie modyfikowanej (GMO). W ramach powyższych badań przeanalizowano opinie konsumentów na temat GMO, wiedzę o dostępności artykułów spożywczych zawierających GMO na litewskim rynku, znajomość obowiązkowych etykiet na żywności modyfikowanej genetycznie, zachowanie wobec produktów transgenicznych podczas zakupów oraz chęć nabywania takich produktów. Dane zgromadzono na podstawie ankiety przeprowadzonej wśród tysiąca mieszkańców Litwy. Z wyników empirycznych można wnioskować, że większość respondentów jest negatywnie nastawiona do artykułów spożywczych zawierających GMO, przy czym osoby starsze oraz konsumenci o niższych dochodach częściej odnoszą się niechętnie do takiej żywności niż osoby młodsze z bardziej zamożnych gospodarstw domowych. Grupa 72% konsumentów wie, że na opakowaniu żywności zawierającej GMO musi znajdować się etykieta z informacją na ten temat. Wielu konsumentów niechętnych wobec GMO nie stara się jednak unikać takich artykułów i nie zwraca uwagi na składniki wyszczególnione na etykiecie. Tylko jedna czwarta badanych sprawdza takie informacje przy zakupie. Oznacza to, że ewentualna zawartość GMO nie jest przedmiotem szczególnego zainteresowania ze strony konsumentów.

The article is an attempt to present the draft of the act on the labeling of products made without the use of genetically modified organisms designed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and on the amendment of some other acts, based on the experience of the “Ohne Gentechnikˮ system in Germany. The article also presents issues directly related to the indicated issues, namely GM food issues and legal regulations regulating it. The aim of the study is to analyze legal assumptions in the indicated scope, with particular emphasis on the German practice and to determine the significance, benefits and problems resulting from the introduction of such a system for consumers and entrepreneurs. The study uses the method of content analysis and analysis of documents, which makes it possible to highlight the multi-aspect nature of the discussed issue and its significance. References were made to legal acts, periodicals and monographs. The information provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, german Association “Food without genetic engineeringˮ (VLOG), organizations associating entrepreneurs, consumers, social organizations and data on the official websites of these organizations were used. The critical interpretation of texts, in particular legal ones, allowed to determine current trends. Methods of comparative law were also used in the field of methods, comparing two systems of marking: German and designed Polish, which helped to broaden the cognitive perspective and indicate the directions of legislative solutions.

This article is a contribution to the reflection on the issue of genetically modified organisms. The use of transgenic organisms in agriculture and food industry is the subject of unceasing discussion between supporters and opponents of GMOs. The aim of the article is to present Polish and Spanish legislation on genetically modified organisms. The analysis of Polish and Spanish legislation may allow to demonstrate how different is a direction in which the Polish and Spanish model of regulations on GMOs goes. The attention is also paid to the EU law, which serves to choose a model that more meets the EU requirements. The first part of the article presents the definition of genetically modified organisms and the axiological basis. Secondly, are presented the most important EU regulations on GM organisms. The next part of the article describes Polish and Spanish legal acts on genetically modified organisms which allows to compare both legislations at the end of the article.
