Article 1Genetically modified organism and unique identifier#
Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) MON 87427, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier MON-87427-7, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
(a)foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
(b)feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
(c)MON-87427-7 maize in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than those provided in points (a) and (b), with the exception of cultivation.
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.
1.The authorisation holder shall ensure that the monitoring plan for environmental effects, as set out in point (h) 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 Decision 2009/770/EC.
The information set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(1)foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
(2)feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
(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.
(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.
(1)Event specific real-time PCR based method for the quantification of MON-87427-7;
(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)Reference Material: AOCS 0512-A and AOCS 0406-A are accessible via the American Oil Chemists Society at http://www.aocs.org/LabServices/content.cfm?ItemNumber=19248)
