COMMISSION DECISION of 11 February 1992 concerning the summary notification information format referred to in Article 12 of Council Directive 90/220/EEC (92/146/EEC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof, Whereas the competent authorities appointed by the Member States shall forward to the Commission dossiers for notifications received under Part C of Directive 90/220/EEC; Whereas each dossier forwarded to the Commission shall include a summary of the notification; Whereas the Commission is required to establish, before 23 October 1991, the format of this summary; Whereas the provisions of this Decision have received the favourable opinion of the Committee of Member State Representatives in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The competent authorities appointed by Member States under Directive 90/220/EEC must use the annexed Summary Notification Information Format when sending to the Commission the summary of a notification received, as specified under Part C of Directive 90/220/EEC. Article 2 This Decision is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 11 February 1992. For the Commission Carlo RIPA DI MEANA Member of the Commission (1) OJ No L 117, 8. 5. 1990, p. 15. ANNEX SUMMARY NOTIFICATION INFORMATION FORMAT FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING GENETIALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOS) in accordance with Article 12 of Directive 90/220/EEC INTRODUCTION The present document is designed to serve as the format of the summary of the dossier submitted to the Commission for the placing on the market of a product containing GMOs (Part C, Article 12 (3) of Directive 90/220/EEC) and does not prejudice the provisions of Directive 90/220/EEC. The summary notification information format for products containing GMOs when completed will contain a summary of the information entered under the corresponding points of the full dossier. It is, therefore, recognized that the risk assessment stipulated by Directive 90/220/EEC, Article 12, cannot be carried out on the basis of the summary. A. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.
