- (E) The Precautionary Principle states that if the consequences of an action
are unknown but are judged to have some potential for major or irreversible
negative consequences, that action should be avoided. The concept includes
risk prevention, cost effectiveness, ethical responsibilities toward
maintaining the integrity of natural biological systems, and risk assessment.
It is not the risk that must be avoided but the potential risk that must be
prevented.
