(a) Applicant and Authorisation holder:
Name | : | Monsanto Europe S.A. |
Address | : | Scheldelaan 460, Haven 627 — 2040 Antwerpen — BELGIË |
On behalf of Monsanto Company — 800 N. Lindbergh Boulevard — St. Louis, Missouri 63167 — United States of America
(b) Designation and specification of the products:
(1) | Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize; |
(2) | Feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize; |
(3) | Products other than food and feed containing or consisting of MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. |
The genetically modified maize MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing MON-ØØ863-5, MON-ØØ81Ø-6 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 events and expresses the CryBb1 protein which confers protection against certain coleopteran insect pests (Diabrotica spp.), the Cry 1 Ab protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran insect pests (Ostrinia nubilalis, Sesammia spp.) and the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tolerance to herbicide glyphosate. An nptII gene, conferring kanamycin resistance, was used as a selectable marker in the genetic modification process.
(c) Labelling:
(1) | for the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003, the ‘name of the organism’ shall be ‘maize’; |
(2) | the words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize referred to in Article 2(b) and (c). |
(d) Method for detection:
— | event specific real-time quantitative PCR based methods for genetically modified maize MON-ØØ863-5, MON-ØØ81Ø-6 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 validated on MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize, |
— | validated by the Community reference laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.it/statusofdoss.htm, |
— | Reference Material: ERM®-BF416 (for MON-ØØ863-5), ERM®-BF413 (for MON-ØØ81Ø-6) and ERM®-BF415 (for MON-ØØ6Ø3-6) accessible via the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, the Institute of Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) at http://www.irmm.jrc.be/html/reference_materials_catalogue/index.htm |
