(b) Designation and specification of the products

Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) line 1507 as described in the application, unique identifier DAS-Ø15Ø7-1, with resistance to the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and certain other lepidopteran pests and with tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. The genetically modified maize DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 contains the following DNA sequences in two cassettes:

1. (a)

   cassette 1:

   A synthetic version of the truncated cry1F gene from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai, which confers resistance to the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and certain other lepidopteran pests, under the regulation of the ubiquitin promoter ubiZM1(2) from Zea mays L. and the ORF25PolyA terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens pTi15955;

2. (b)

   cassette 2:

   A synthetic version of the pat gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes strain Tü494, which confers tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium, under the regulation of the 35S promoter and terminator sequences from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus.

(c) Labelling

No specific requirements other than those provided pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
