THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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,
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 of the Member State that received the notification for the placing on the market of that product, in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Directive. |
(2) |
A notification (Reference C/SE/96/3501) concerning the placing on the market of a genetically modified potato product (Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1) was submitted by BASF Plant Science (formerly Amylogen HB) to the competent authority of Sweden. |
(3) |
The notification originally covered the placing on the market of Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1 for cultivation and processing into industrial starch, as well as use in feed in the Community. |
(4) |
In accordance with the procedure established by Article 14 of Directive 2001/18/EC, the competent authority of Sweden prepared an assessment report, which concluded that there is no scientific evidence to indicate that the placing on the market of the Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1 poses any risk to human and animal health or the environment for the requested uses. |
(5) |
The assessment report was submitted to the Commission and the competent authorities of the other Member States, which raised and maintained objections to the placing on the market of the product. |
(6) |
On 9 December 2005, BASF Plant Science informed the Swedish competent authority of its intention to exclude feed uses from the notification under Directive 2001/18/EC, limiting its scope to cultivation of the Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1 and production of starch for industrial uses. |
(7) |
An application for the placing on the market of feed and food containing, consisting of, or produced from Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1 was submitted, on 25 April 2005, by BASF Plant Science under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |
(8) |
The opinions of the European Food Safety Authority concerning the placing on the market of Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1 for cultivation and industrial starch production under Directive 2001/18/EC and feed and food under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published on 24 February 2006, concluded that the product is unlikely to have an adverse effect on human and animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed uses. |
(9) |
An examination of each of the objections maintained by the Member States 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 evidence to believe that the placing on the market of Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1 is likely to cause adverse effects on human... |
