Workshop objectives: 1) Review internationally accepted approaches to the risk assessment of genetically engineered crops and foods; 2) illustrate these approaches with practical examples and exercises built around a case-study of a transgenic insect resistant maize, MON 810; 3) provide information on the current "state-of-the-art"; 4) provide a viewpoint on decision making under uncertainty
