(a) Applicant and authorisation holder:
| Name | : | Pioneer Overseas Corporation |
| Address | : | Avenue des Arts 44, 1040 Brussels, Belgium |
On behalf of Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc., 7100 NW 62nd Avenue, PO Box 1014, Johnston, IA 50131-1014, United States of America.
(b) Designation and specification of the products:
| 1. | Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize; |
| 2. | feed containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize; |
| 3. | products other than food and feed containing or consisting of DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. |
The genetically modified DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing DAS-59122-7 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 events and expresses the Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 proteins which confer tolerance to certain coleopteran pests, the PAT protein, used as a selectable marker, which confers tolerance to the glufosinate-ammonium herbicide and the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicide.
(c) Labelling:
| 1. | For the purposes of the specific 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 DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize referred to in Article 2(b) and (c) of this Decision. |
(d) Method for detection:
| — | Event specific real-time quantitative PCR based methods for genetically modified maize DAS-59122-7 and MONØØ6Ø3-6 maize validated on DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize, |
| — | validated on seeds by the Community reference laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdoss.htm, |
| — | reference material: ERM®-BF424 (for DAS-59122-7) 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 |
