THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 18(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) |
Pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC, the placing on the market of a product containing or consisting of a genetically modified organism or a combination of genetically modified organisms is subject to written consent being granted by the competent authority concerned, in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Directive. |
(2) |
A notification concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) was submitted by Bayer BioScience nv to the competent authority of Belgium. |
(3) |
The notification covered cultivation and import of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) for all uses as for any other oilseed rape including use as or in feed, but with the exception of uses as or in food, in the Community. |
(4) |
In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 14 of Directive 2001/18/EC, the competent authority of Belgium prepared an assessment report, which was submitted to the Commission and the competent authorities of other Member States; whereby the assessment report concluded that the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) should be placed on the market for import and processing and for use as any other oilseed rape but not for the requested use of cultivation. |
(5) |
The competent authorities of certain Member States raised objections to the placing on the market of the products. |
(6) |
In view of the objections raised by the competent authority of Belgium and other Member States concerning cultivation of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3), the opinion of EFSA is restricted to import and processing, including use in feed. |
(7) |
The opinion adopted in September 2005 by the European Food Safety Authority, concluded that the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) are as safe as conventional oilseed rape for humans and animals, and in the context of the intended uses, for the environment. The European Food Safety Authority also concluded that the monitoring plan provided in the notification was acceptable in view of the intended uses. |
(8) |
An examination of each of the objections in the light of Directive 2001/18/EC, of the information submitted in the notification and of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, discloses no reason to believe that the placing on the market of the genetically modified oilseed rape products (Brassica napus L., lines Ms8, Rf3 and Ms8xRf3) will adversely affect human or animal health or the environment. |
(9) |
Processed oil from genetically modified oilseed rape derived from (a) the Ms8 oilseed rape line and all... |
