Name
:
Syngenta Crop Protection AG
Address
:
Schwarzwaldallee 215, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland
Represented by Syngenta Crop Protection NV/SA, 489, Avenue Louise, 1050 Brussels, Belgium.
(b) Designation and specification of the products:
(1)
foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize ( Zea mays L.) as referred to in point (e);
(2)
feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize ( Zea mays L.) as referred to in point (e);
(3)
products containing or consisting of genetically modified maize as referred to in point (e) for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified SYN-BTØ11-1 maize expresses the Cry1Ab protein, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, and the PAT protein, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides.
The genetically modified SYN-IR162-4 maize expresses the Vip3Aa20 protein, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, and the PMI protein, which was used as a selectable marker.
The genetically modified DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 maize expresses the Cry1F protein, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests, and the PAT protein, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides.
The genetically modified MON-ØØØ21-9 maize expresses the mEPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.
(c) Labelling:
(1)
For the purposes of the 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 the accompanying documents of the products containing or consisting of the maize specified in point (e), with the exception of products referred to in point (b)(1) of this Annex.
(d) Method for detection:
(1)
The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods for maize Bt11 × MIR162 × 1507 × GA21 are those validated for genetically modified maize events SYN-BTØ11-1, SYN-IR162-4, DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 and MON-ØØØ21-9.
(2)
