Article 1Genetically modified organism and unique identifier#
Genetically modified cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L.) GHB614xLLCotton25, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
2.The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in the documents accompanying products containing or consisting of BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton 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 BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton;
2.feed containing, consisting of, or produced from BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton;
3.BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton in products containing it or consisting of it for any other than 1 and 2, with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton, as described in the application, expresses the phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides and the modified 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (2mEPSPS) protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides.
2.The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton 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 BCS-GHØØ2-5xACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton;
2.Validated by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on genomic DNA extracted from cotton leaves, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdossiers.aspx;
