Principle Board Accountability Each Organisation should engage with suppliers andor business partners to encourage and stimulate their adoption of the Code and so assure its own ability to fulfil its Code commitmentsClearly more and more stakeholders are beginning to take their fate into their own hands, rather than wait for government to step in. This kind of responsible development of industry standards will only make the transition to regulatory framework easier when and if that occurs.

It is expected to have applications

Proactively supporting experts in risk communication can help avert situation in which the public might actually reject the technology due to unexplained fears and worries, he said. This perceived difficulty is attributed to the fact that manufacturing standards for nanomaterials and components are yet to evolve. Concerns about the potential ill effects of engineered nanomaterials such as carbon buckyballs and nanotubes through inhalation, ingestion, or absorption through the skin are increasing. It important to gather the views of all stakeholders in order to help prepare effective and efficient future initiatives at European level, said Busquin.

Among the ECs proposals are doubling in funding for the sector in its next research budget in 2006.Europe must build upon the solid knowledge base that it has developed through research in nanosciences and nanotechnologies and translate this into useful and commercially viable products and services, commented Philippe Busquin, the European Research Commissioner.At the same time we must play proactive role for ensuring its safe and responsible development and use, also at global level, European Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin said. It is expected to have applications in broad range of industries, but there are nearterm, tangible uses in pharmaceuticals and medicine.

Nanotechnology also faces strong challenge in the shape of negative public perceptions with growing reports about the possible toxic effects of exposure to nanoparticles. But Europe is investing proportionately less than its main competitors, according to the Commission. An EUfunded network called Nanoforum has been created to serve as forum for ideas, and has set up an online questionnaire. The EU has an excellent knowledge base, with per cent of international nanotechnology publications in 19971999, compared to per cent in Japan. By using preventive medicine, treatment for diseases could be initiated even before preliminary symptoms appear.

While the European Union is at the forefront of research into nanotechnology, this position is in danger of being eroded, with both the US and per cent in Japan. For example, in earlystage studies it has been shown that inhaled nanosized particles accumulate in the nasal cavities, lungs and brains of rats, raising concerns that this buildup could lead to harmful inflammation and risk of brain damage or other central nervous system disorders.

NM manufacturing in the UK

Currently, relatively few companies in the UK does not reflect the global emphasis on fullerenes, nanotubes and fibres. However, this situation is likely to change rapidly. Some assumptions have been made about the types of NM that are likely to be imported into the UK, which currently include fullerenes, modified fullerenes and other carbonbased NMs including nanotubes. N notice refdoc ud4 18017481 . However, some have the potential to scale up to produce large quantities.

Many university departments, spinoffs and private companies have developed processes for the manufacture of NMs but only be producing small quantities for research and development R&D purposes. While several companies are including NMs in their products, only few J.

Nanotechnology the manipulation of matter at the scale of atoms and molecules is used in the manufacture of products such as nutritional supplements, cling wrap and containers, antibacterial kitchenware, processed meats, chocolate drinks, baby food and chemicals used in agriculture. Policymakers must stop claiming that existing regulatory frameworks are adequate to deal with the emerging science of nanotechnology and address the gaps in current food safety legislation as soon as possible.

The group is calling on European policymakers to adopt comprehensive and precautionary legislation to manage the new risks associated with nanofoods. Helen Holder, coordinator of the Food and Farming campaign at Friends of the Earth Europe said Europeans should not be exposed to potentially toxic materials in their food and food packaging until proper regulations are in place to ensure their safety.
