Bayer Agriculture BVBA

Address

Scheldelaan 460, 2040 Antwerp, Belgium

On behalf of Monsanto Company — 800 N. Lindbergh Boulevard — St. Louis, Missouri 63167 — United States of America.

(b)Designation and specification of the products:

  1. (1)

    foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;

  2. (2)

    feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;

  3. (3)

    MON-87427-7 maize in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than those provided in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.

The genetically modified MON-87427-7 maize, as described in the application, expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tissue-selective tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. The CP4 EPSPS expression is absent or limited in male reproductive tissues, which eliminates or reduces the need for detasseling when MON-87427-7 is used as female parent in hybrid maize seed production.

(c)Labelling:

  1. (1)

    For the purposes of the 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 the documents accompanying products containing or consisting of MON-87427-7 maize with the exception of products referred to in point (a) of Article 2.

(d)Method for detection:

  1. (1)

    Event specific real-time PCR based method for the quantification of MON-87427-7;

  2. (2)

    Validated by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on genomic DNA extracted from maize seeds, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdossiers.aspx);

  3. (3)
