Tjelle Holm, Niels-Kristian und Marion Dreyer (Hgs.) 2022: GUIDANCE on the application of the precautionary principle in the EU. Berlin: Ecologic Institut.
Zum Abschluss des Projekts entwickelte das RECIPES-Team einen Leitfaden für die Anwendung des Vorsorgeprinzips in der EU. Der Leitfaden gibt Ratschläge für einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit ungewissen Risiken bei der Entwicklung und Anwendung von Technologien in der EU. Zielgruppen dieses Leitfadens sind in erster Linie politische Entscheidungsträger in der EU, EU-Agenturen und Organisationen zur Unterstützung der EU-Politik, die sich mit Risikoregulierung oder der Steuerung von Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation befassen. Das Ecologic Institut gestaltete das Layout des eBooks.
