Towards an innovation principle: our paper on an industry horse knocking at the EU door.
Posted by Geert van Calster in Environmental law - EU, Environmental Law - International, EU law - General on 16/04/2018
Our paper on the innovation principle, with Kathleen Garnett and Leonie Reins is just out in Law, Innovation and Technology. We discuss how industry has been pushing for the principle to be added as a regulatory driver. Not as a trojan horse: industry knocks politely but firmly at the EU door, it is then simply let in by the European Commission. We discuss the ramifications of such principle and the wider consequences for EU policy making.
Happy reading.
Geert.
