Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize;
Feed containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize;
Products other than food and feed containing or consisting of SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize, as described in the application, expresses a modified Cry3A protein which provides protection to certain coleopteran pests (Diabrotica spp.). A pmi gene, allowing transformed maize cells to utilise mannose as a sole carbon source, was used as a selectable marker in the genetic modification process.
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’;
The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize referred to in Article 2(b) and (c) of this Decision.
