The Necessity of Establishing the Procedural Rules and Judicial Review System for Food Import Policy-Making: A Study on the Hard Look Doctrine
時至今日,無論是國際間的貿易協定,抑或是各國內部的食品安全政策,均高度仰賴科學證據,尤其信賴以科學為基礎所建構的風險評估機制。然而,由於評估機關的獨立性問題、科學不確定性、直接涉及人民健康等問題與特性,或可重新檢視食品輸入政策中之風險評估是否應受建立法定程序規範及司法審查機制。本文分為兩階段,首先以風險評估之地位、限制來確立程序性規範之確立可能;再者,研析比較法上「嚴格檢視原則」之發展脈絡,將其提出的精神與臺灣食品安全政策所涉之憲法上法益影響相呼應,並提出現行司法審查之限制及修法建議,期許臺灣建構出更完善、穩固的食品安全堡壘。
In the age of high-tech society, the scientific evidence and the science-based risk assessment have become the key factors for the policy-decision in the field of the international trade and food import policies in most countries. However, due to the potential problems in the process of decision-making, such as the deficiency of independence for the assessment agency or the scientific uncertainty, the voice of reexamining the legitimacy of the administrative policy has appeared. The aim of this article is the study of the necessity of establishing the procedure rules and the judicial review system for the food import policy in relation to health, supported by the hard look doctrine, and to bring forward suggestions on amending the law.
