(c) Labelling 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 ‘oilseed rape’. (d) Method for detection — Event specific real-time PCR based method for the quantification of ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 oilseed rape; — Validated on seeds by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdoss.htm — Reference Material: AOCS 0306-B, AOCS 0306-F and AOCS 0306-G are accessible via the American Oil Chemists Society at http://www.aocs.org/tech/crm (e) Unique identifiers ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 (f) Information required under Annex II to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity Biosafety Clearing-House [ to be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed when notified ]. (g) Conditions or restrictions on the placing on the market, use or handling of the products Not required.
