Editorial

Mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution become more and more important in the legal world. The decision of the WTO Appellate Body in the so-called “hormone case” highlighted the growing relevance of DR methods in the field of health and consumer protection. The pending case of GM food labelling in the European Community is one major example for the role of ADR in biotechnology law. As biotech is a delicate area of law which makes it extremely hard to analyse, define, and interpret the relevant provisions, it is predestined for the application of ADR. Sarah E. Hilmer shows that DR methods – including negotiation, mediation and arbitration – are an optional and appropriate answer to many different positions and interests of the many stakeholders being involved.
