Regulation.

Summary Risk regulation covers all the institutions, rules and standards that contribute to the supervision of activities that present a potential or proven danger to the health or well-being of populations. Although it is not new in terms of public action, the reforms of which it has been the subject in recent decades have sought to mark a break with situations in which the roles and functions between control authorities, expert bodies and producers were not always clear and in which compromises, particularly in the name of economic interests, tended to prevail over public health issues.
