Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1111 of 3 August 2018 authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize MON 87427 × MON 89034 × NK603 (MON-87427-7 × MON-89Ø34-3 × MON-ØØ6Ø3-6) and genetically modified maize combining two of the events MON 87427, MON 89034 and NK603, and repealing Decision 2010/420/EU (notified under document C(2018) 5014) (Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (revoked)

Designation and specification of the products:

1. (1)

   foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) referred to in point (e);

2. (2)

   feed containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) referred to in point (e);

3. (3)

   genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) referred to in point (e) in products containing them or consisting of them for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.

MON-87427-7 maize expresses CP4 EPSPS protein, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.

MON-89Ø34-3 maize expresses the Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 proteins, which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests.

MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize expresses CP4 EPSPS protein and the variant CP4 EPSPS L214P, which confer tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.

Labelling:

1. (1)

   For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003, the ‘name of the organism’ shall be ‘maize’;

2. (2)

   The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in the accompanying documents of the products containing or consisting of the maize specified in (e), with the exception of foods and food ingredients.

Method for detection:

1. (1)

   The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods for maize MON-87427-7 × MON-89Ø34-3 × MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 are those validated for genetically modified maize events MON-87427-7, MON-89Ø34-3 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6.

2. (2)
