ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To perfect public participation system of food and drug safety in China and establish“society multi-governance”of food and drug safety. METHODS:The problems of public participation in food and drug safety administration were analyzed in China. Referring to the experience of USA,Japan,South Korea and other developed countries in stage of food and drug safety legislative decision-making,regulation and enforcement and dispute settlement,the countermeasures were put forward to perfect public participation system of food and drug safety. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The public is in a passive position and shows weak right of speech in legislative decision-making stage;the public is not active and shows weak awareness of partici-pating in management in regulation and enforcement stage;public interest litigation system in dispute settlement stage has not been established. Those problems impede the generation of“society multi-governance”of food and drug safety in China. In United States,Japan,South Korea and other developed countries,the position and right of the public participation can be guaranteed com-pletely through establishing complete legal system,strengthening government information transparency,improving complaints sys-tem and public interest litigation system,etc. Our country can perfect the system of public participation in the food and drug safety and promote the generation of“society multi-governance”of food and drug safety by detailing the regulations in legislative deci-sion-making,emphasizing the information opening and feedback,strengthening the propaganda of public responsibility conscious-ness,setting up scientific food and drug safety complaint and reparting system and establishing public interest litigation system.
