ANNEXSupplementary provisions

ANNEX (a) Applicant and authorisation holder: Name: BASF Agricultural Solutions US LLC; Address: 2 T.W. Alexander Dr., Durham, NC 27713, United States; represented in the Union by BASF Agricultural Solutions Belgium NV, Technologiepark-Zwijnaarde 101, 9052, Ghent, Belgium. (b) Designation and specification of the products: (1) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6; (2) feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6; (3) products containing or consisting of genetically modified soybean BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6 for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation. The genetically modified soybean BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6 expresses the 2mepsps gene, which confers tolerance to herbicides containing glyphosate, the aad-12 gene, which confers tolerance to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), the pat gene, which confers tolerance to herbicides containing glufosinate-ammonium, the hppdPf-4Pa gene, which confers tolerance to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor herbicides, such as isoxaflutole, and the cry14Ab-1.b gene, which confers resistance to plant parasitic nematodes. (c) Labelling: (1) For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2), points (a) and (b), of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003, the name of the organism shall be ‘soybean’. (2) The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying the products containing or consisting of genetically modified soybean BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6, with the exception of products referred to in point (b)(1). (d) Method for detection: (1) the quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods are those individually validated for genetically modified soybean events BCS-GM151-6 and DAS-444Ø6-6, and further verified on soybean stack BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6; (2) validated by the EU reference laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at https://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/method-validations (3) reference material: ERM®-BF443 a-e (for BCS-GM151-6) and ERM®-BF436 a-e (for DAS-444Ø6-6) are accessible via the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission at https://crm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ . (e) Unique identifier: BCS-GM151-6 x DAS-444Ø6-6 (f) Information required under Annex II to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity: [Biosafety Clearing-House, Record ID number: published 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. (h) Monitoring plan for environmental effects: monitoring plan for environmental effects in accordance with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC [Link: plan published in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed ] (i) Post-market monitoring plan: not required.
