Накратко на български
Демократичността на процесите по безопасност на храните се анализира чрез сравнение между агенции в ЕС, Великобритания и Германия. Това помага да се разбере дали гласът на потребителите се чува достатъчно при вземането на важни решения за хранителните продукти.

Цел на проекта
With a view to the alleged democratic deficit of the EU this project is concerned with the democratic quality of risk governance in the field of food safety. The guiding question is: How democratic is the procedure of risk regulation in the newly establish ed European Food Safety Agency (EFSA)? To answer this question the EFSAs procedures are compared with those of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in the UK and the Bundesinstitut fur Risikobewertung (BfR) in Germany. These institutions are of equally recent o rigin and were also established in response to the food scandals of the 1990s and the concomitant loss in public trust. At the level of principles, all these agencies, to various degrees, put emphasis on scientific expertise, transparency, independence and openness. In all three cases, however, there is a gap between principles and actual practice. The aim of this project is to assess the democratic quality of these practices through empirical research. Democratic quality is defined here as the degree to wh ich procedures of risk assessment and policy-making are responsive to the concerns and interests of all governance stakeholders, with a particular focus on consumers. It is operationalised through a set of indicators derived from a model of deliberative de mocracy: stakeholder engagement, transparency, responsiveness and inclusion. The study is designed to deliver a comparative evaluation of existing deliberative practices and participation mechanisms in food policy regimes. Drawing on this evidence it will be possible to assess whether there is a democratic deficit of EU practices when compared with advanced models of risk regulation in its member states. Finally, the proposed research intends to provide some realistic and feasible proposals on how to better integrate risk governance and democratic participation.
