      abstract = {In this article, legal consequences of the new German  genetic engineering
act are analyzed. In addition  environmental economic
analysis is presented of those parts  of the act that introduce new
litigation regulation to  farmers. The different kinds of external costs
arising from  genetic engineering of plants and their allocation  to
different actors are considered. The paper focuses on  the costs
resulting from the postulated coexistence of  conventional/organic
farms and users of biotechnology.  Excessive liability of farmers can
be avoided, if the  producers of genetically modified seeds accept
any  litigation claims against farmers. Furthermore,  negotiations
between neighbouring farms can be an option to  keep the costs of
damage prevention at reasonable levels.},
