Commission Decision of 22 December 2011 authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize Bt11xMIR604xGA21 (SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2011) 9536) (Only the French text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/894/EU)

(b) Designation and specification of the products U.K.

(1)

Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize;

(2)

feed containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize;

(3)

products other than food and feed containing or consisting of SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation.

The genetically modified SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9 maize, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing SYN-BTØ11-1, SYN-IR6Ø4-5 and MON-ØØØ21-9 events and expresses the Cry1Ab protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, a PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides, the Cry3A protein which provides protection against certain coleopteran pests and the mEPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicide. A pmi gene, which allows transformed maize cells to utilize mannose as a sole carbon source, was used as a selectable marker in the genetic modification process for SYN-IR6Ø4-5 event.
