Features by the EU Member States of Civil Law Torts Regulation in the Nanobiotechnology Field
Abstract
The article defines the main directions and conceptual approaches to the regulation of problematic issues of tort liability in the field of development, production and use (consumption) of nanobiotechnological products under the legislation of the EU member States as the subject of research. The research methodology is based on the definition of innovative approaches to the use of judicial tests «if not» (equal conditions test), «significant contribution to injury (risks)», «significant increase in risks», «doubling of risks» and other methods used by judicial authorities to determine the degree of danger of harm (damage) caused by nanobioproducts and the possibility of compensation to victims. Scientific novelty of the research determine the findings, according to which, in particular, the study of the requirement of causation as applied to non-contractual liability is one of the most important elements when considering the application of tort law in the field of civil security nanobiotechnology regulation, as well as proposals aimed at improving the legal support of the domestic model of determining cause-and-effect relationships in determining the degree of harm (damage) caused by nanoproducts, by analogy with the studied models used in the EU.
