Article 1Genetically modified organism and unique identifier#
Genetically modified cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) T304-40, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier BCS-GHØØ4-7, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
2.The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of T304-40 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-GHØØ4-7 cotton;
(2)feed containing, consisting of, or produced from BCS-GHØØ4-7 cotton;
(3)BCS-GHØØ4-7 cotton in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than 1 and 2, with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified T304-40 cotton, as described in the application, expresses the Cry1Ab protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests and PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate ammonium-based herbicides.
(2)the words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of T304-40 cotton with the exception of products referred to in point (a) of Article 2.
