(b) Designation and specification of the products:

1.

foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-59122-7xDAS-Ø15Ø7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize;

2.

feed containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-59122-7xDAS-Ø15Ø7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize;

3.

products other than food and feed containing or consisting of DAS-59122-7xDAS-Ø15Ø7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation.

The genetically modified DAS-59122-7xDAS-Ø15Ø7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing DAS-59122-7, DAS-Ø15Ø7 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 events and expresses the Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 proteins which confer protection against certain coleopteran pests, the Cry1F protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, the PAT protein, used as a selectable marker, which confers tolerance to the glufosinate-ammonium herbicide and the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicide.

(c) Labelling:

1.

for the purposes of the specific labelling requirements laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 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’;

(d) Method for detection:

  • event specific real-time quantitative PCR-based methods for genetically modified maize DAS-59122-7, DAS-Ø15Ø7 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize validated on DAS-59122-7xDAS-Ø15Ø7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 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
