When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Version Superseded: 31/12/2020
Point in time view as at 04/07/2013.
There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Commission Implementing Decision of 22 December 2011 on emergency measures regarding unauthorised genetically modified rice in rice products originating from China and repealing Decision 2008/289/EC (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/884/EU).
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team.

Samples intended for the official control for the absence of GM rice in rice products shall be taken according to the methods described in this Annex. The bulk samples thus obtained shall be considered as representative of the lots from which they are taken.
The number of incremental samples which make up the bulk sample and the preparation of the analytical samples shall be made in accordance with Recommendation 2004/787/EC and Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 for feed. The size of the laboratory sample shall be 2,5 kg but may be reduced to 500 grams for processed food or feed. For the purpose of Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, a second laboratory sample shall be constituted from the bulk sample.
The number of incremental samples for the constitution of the bulk sample and the preparation of the analytical samples shall be made in accordance with [F1CEN/TS 15568:2007] or equivalent. The size of the laboratory sample shall be 2,5 kg but may be reduced to 500 grams for processed food or feed. For the purpose of Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, a second laboratory sample shall be constituted from the bulk sample.
The laboratory analysis at the point of origin shall be carried out in a designated AQSIQ laboratory, and prior to release for free circulation in the Union in a Member State designated official control laboratory. Screening tests shall be performed by real-time PCR according to the method published by the EU-RL GMFF(1), for at least the following genetic elements: the CAMV (Cauliflower Mosaic Virus) 35S promoter, the NOS (nopaline synthase) terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the engineered CryIAb, CryIAc and/or CryIAb/CryIAc from Bacillus thuringiensis.
[F1In the case of grain samples, the designated control laboratory shall take from the homogenised laboratory sample four analytical samples of 240 grams (equivalent 10 000 rice grains). The four analytical samples shall be ground and further analysed separately. Two extractions shall be made from each analytical sample. One PCR test for each GM genetic element shall be made for each extraction in accordance with the screening methods detailed under point 4 below.
For processed products such as flour, pasta or starch one analytical sample of 125 g shall be prepared from the homogenised laboratory sample. This analytical sample shall be ground, and from this sample two extractions shall be made with one PCR test for each GM genetic element for each extraction in accordance with the screening methods detailed under point 4.
The consignment shall be considered as non-compliant if at least one GM genetic element is detected in at least one analytical sample of the consignment according to the guidelines provided in the European Union Reference Laboratory for GMOs (EURL for GMOs) report.]
