Through the lens of legal pluralism and state sovereignty this research examines the competence and authority of the Council of Europe and the EU to handle the market aspects (technical performance and utility) as well as privacy (consent to a medical service and data protection requirements), and examines the obligations these two legal orders place on the Member States of the EU. This research traces the avenues for coexistence between the legal orders in relation to direct-to-consumer genetic testing, and examines how the coexistence of the Council of Europe and the EU is reflected in the legal framework that is relevant to the regulation of direct-to-consumer genetic testing.
