Import Safety Conference

By Gordon Smith, Christine, Hurt, Vic Fleischer, Fred Tung, Lisa Fairfax, David Zaring

Today and tomorrow, I'll be part of the Penn Program on Regulation's conference on Import Safety: Governance Challenges in the Global Economy. Ensuring that food, drugs, and consumer goods are safe is all over the news, a matter of international import, and a vexing challenge for regulators.  Hopefully the conference will make [at least] a small difference in addressing a big problem.  We've got attendees coming from New Zealand, France, Canada, China, and Brazil, as well as across the United States, and you'll want to save your pennies for the book following the conference that will come out in the fall, co-edited by Cary Coglianese, Adam Finkel, and yours truly.
