Article 2.

F1An applicant can submit in a single notification information on several releases of genetically modified crop plants, to be released on several different sites, on the following conditions:

• the taxononic status and biology of the recipient plants species is well known,

• information is available on the interactions of the recipient plant species in the ecosystems in which the experimental and/or agricultural releases are scheduled,

• scientific data is available on the safety to human health and the environment of experimental releases involving genetically modified plants of the same recipient plant species,

• the inserted sequences and their expression products should be safe for human health and the environment under the conditions of the experimental release,

• the inserted sequences have been well characterized,

• all the inserted sequences are integrated into the plant nuclear genome,

• all the releases are for an a priori specified programme of work,

• all the releases take place within an a priori specified time period.
