Abstract
An analysis of the precautionary principle (PP) with its pros and cons. After distinguishing between “risk” and “uncertainty” the article studies how the PP could lead to unexpected collateral economic, social or scientific consequences. Some policy implications are developed for an “intelligent” use of the PP.
