On behalf of Syngenta Crop Protection AG, Schwarzwaldallee 215, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland
(b)Designation and specification of the products
- (1)
Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize;
- (2)
feed containing, consisting of, or produced from SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize;
- (3)
products other than food and feed containing or consisting of SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing SYN-BTØ11-1 and SYN-IR6Ø4-5 events and expresses the Cry1Ab protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, the PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides and the Cry3A protein which provides protection against certain coleopteran pests. A pmi gene, which allows transformed maize cells to utilize mannose as a sole carbon source, was used as a selectable marker in the genetic modification process for SYN-IR6Ø4-5 event.
(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’;
- (2)
the words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize referred to in Article 2(b) and (c) of this Decision.
(d)Method for detection
Event specific real-time quantitative PCR based methods for genetically modified maize SYN-BTØ11-1 and SYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize validated on SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5 maize.
