Nevertheless, the nature of the subject (ethical issues) and the speed of the development elicited fear among consumers. 然而，转基因生物的本质（伦理问题）及其发展速度仍使消费者感到担心。 Potential hazards of the new technology are automatically projected into risks. 人们自然会考虑到这种新技术潜在的危害的危险性。 In most developed countries the willingness to accept such （perceived）risks is low, because the first generation of GM foods (herbicide-tolerant, insect-resistant crops and products thereof) was of no obvious advantage to regular consumers. 在大多数发达国家，一般消费者不太愿接受这种已经预知的风险，因为第一代转基因食品（除草剂的耐药性、昆虫害虫的抗药性及其产品）没有给他们带来明显的利益。 The potential of recombinant DNA techniques in food production goes far beyond the applications reported so far. 基因重组技术在食品加工中的发展潜势远远超出所报道的应用实例。 However, the benefits expected from the next generation of GM crops (improved nutritional value, functional foods) will result in new issues （complex metabolic changes, significant impact on overall nutritional status) and thus will pose new challenges in terms of food safety assessment. 然而，对下一代转基因作物所期望带来的益处（包括提高营养价值、功能食品）将会引起新的争议（复杂的代谢变化，对整个营养状况的影响），因此会对食品安全评估方面提出新的挑战。 This paper describes the role of WHO in the development of principles, recommendations and guidelines for the safety assessment of foods produced by means of recombinant DNA techniques and outlines the challenges to be met in future activities. 本文描述了世界卫生组织在评价由DNA重组技术生产的食品安全评估的发展原则、建议与指导方针方面所起的作用，并列举了在未来将会面临的挑战。 正文部分的翻译 2. History of WHO activities 世卫组织活动的历史 2.1 Development of Concepts and Recommendations 概念和规章的形成 Since the beginning of the 1990’s WHO has been involved in the development of strategies for assessing the safety of genetically modified foods. 自从20世纪90年代初起，WHO已经参与到评估转基因食品安全性的发展策略上来。 In cooperation with FAO, several expert consultations have been convened which resulted in the elaboration of basic principles and recommendations (Table 1). 并与FAO合作，召集了几次专题会议，对该安全问题的基本原则和规章进行了详尽的讨论（见表1）。 Table 1 WHO consultations related the application of recombinant DNA
