The role of OECD in the development of national and international risk/safety assessment frameworks is presented and discussed. The most relevant OECD bodies in this context have contributed a lot to the development of international biosafety frameworks, inter alia by organizing international conferences in the areas of food/feed and environmental safety of GMOs, focusing on practical and current scientific issues. The OECD Consensus Documents as well as the OECD Product Database have provided a good basis for risk/safety assessment frameworks and their implementation. The relevance for the OECD work in the international area is discussed, in particular, with respect to the work undertaken under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, the Codex Alimentarius Commission and its work in biotechnology, as well as under the International Plant Protection Convention. An outlook and suggestions for future directions of OECD work in this area are presented.
介绍并讨论了经合组织在国家和国际风险/安全评估框架发展中的作用。在此背景下，经合组织最相关的机构为国际生物安全框架的发展做出了很大贡献，特别是通过组织转基因生物食品/饲料和环境安全领域的国际会议，聚焦实际和当前的科学问题。经合组织共识文件以及经合组织产品数据库为风险/安全评估框架及其实施提供了良好基础。讨论了经合组织在国际领域工作的相关性，特别是与《卡塔赫纳生物安全议定书》、食品法典委员会及其在生物技术方面的工作以及《国际植物保护公约》下开展的工作相关的情况。还展望了经合组织在该领域未来工作的方向并提出了建议。
