Administrative Responsibility in the Field of Genetic Engineering in Germany

At the present stage of development, genetic engineering is characterized by ambiguous achievements. For its further development, it seems necessary to study the legislation establishing administrative responsibility in the specified sphere of public relations. The analysis of the German legislation in the field of genetic engineering made it possible to reveal the features of administrative responsibility for committing administrative offenses. The author defines the features of the institute of administrative responsibility in the field of genetic engineering in Germany from the point of view of their development and consolidation in the legislation on administrative offenses. The main types of administrative offenses in the field of genetic engineering in Germany are considered. Particular attention is given to administrative penalties applied for violation of the legislation on genetic engineering. Based on the analysis of the regulatory regulation of administrative responsibility in the field of genetic engineering, possible areas for further improvement of administrative responsibility in Germany are identified. The variety of violations in the field of genetic engineering makes it possible to conclude that it is necessary to expand and consolidate new types of administrative offenses in the legislation on administrative responsibility.
