Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified oilseed rape ( Brassica napus L ) T45, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier ACS-BNØØ8-2, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
Renewal of the authorisation
1. The purpose of this Decision is to renew an authorisation covering, for the products referred to in paragraph 2, the presence of ACS-BNØØ8-2 oilseed rape resulting directly or indirectly from the commercialisation, until 2005, of ACS-BNØØ8-2 oilseed rape seeds in third countries. 2. The authorisation for the placing on the market of the following products is renewed in accordance with the conditions set out in this Decision: (a) foods and food ingredients containing or produced from genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2; (b) feed containing or produced from genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2; (c) products containing genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2 for uses other than those provided for in points (a) and (b), with the exception of cultivation.
Maximum level
The presence of genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2 in products defined in Article 2 is authorised in a proportion not exceeding 0,9 %.
Method for detection
The method set out in point (c) of the Annex shall apply for the detection of genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2.
Monitoring plan for environmental effects
1. The authorisation holder shall ensure that the monitoring plan for environmental effects, as set out in point (g) of the Annex, is put in place and implemented. 2. The authorisation holder shall submit to the Commission annual reports on the implementation and the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan in accordance with the format set out in Decision 2009/770/EC.
Monitoring of the phasing out
1. The authorisation holder shall ensure that shipments of oilseed rape imported into the Union from a third country in which genetically modified oilseed rape seeds ACS-BNØØ8-2 were commercialised until 2005 are sampled and tested appropriately for the presence of genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2. 2. The method used for the sampling of oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2 shall be internationally recognised. The testing shall be made in an accredited laboratory and in accordance with the validated method of detection as set out in the Annex. 3. The authorisation holder shall submit to the Commission, together with the reports referred to in Article 5(2), annual reports on the monitoring activities for the presence of genetically modified oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ8-2.
Community register
The information set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed, as referred to in Article 28(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
Authorisation holder
The authorisation holder shall be BASF Agricultural Solutions Seed US LLC, United States, represented in the Union by BASF SE, Germany.
Validity
This Decision shall apply for a period of 10 years from the date of its notification.
