Address

Chemin de l’Hobit 12, BP 27 — F-31790 Saint-Sauveur — France

On behalf of Syngenta Crop Protection AG — Schwarzwaldallee 215 — CH 4058 Basle — Switzerland.

(b)Designation and specification of the products:

  1. (1)

    Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize;

  2. (2)

    Feed containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize;

  3. (3)

    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.

(c)Labelling:

  1. (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. (2)

    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.

(d)Method for detection:

  • Event specific real-time PCR based method for the quantification of SYN-IR6Ø4-5 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®-BF423 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

(e)Unique identifier:
