Article 1
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) MON 87427, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier MON-87427-7, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
Article 2
Authorisation
The following products are authorised for the purposes of Articles 4(2) and 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 in accordance with the conditions set out in this Decision:
foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
MON-87427-7 maize in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than those provided in points (a) and (b), with the exception of cultivation.
Article 3
Labelling
Article 4
Monitoring for environmental effects
Article 5
Community register
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.
Article 6

The authorisation holder shall be Bayer Agriculture BV, Belgium, representing Bayer CropScience LP, United States.
Article 7

This Decision is addressed to Bayer Agriculture BV, Scheldelaan 460, 2040 Antwerp, Belgium.
ANNEX
(a) Applicant and authorisation holder:
Name |
: |
Bayer Agriculture BV |
Address |
: |
Scheldelaan 460, 2040 Antwerp, Belgium |
On behalf of Bayer CropScience LP, 800 N. Lindbergh Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63167, United States.
(b) Designation and specification of the products:
foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-87427-7 maize;
MON-87427-7 maize in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than those provided in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified MON-87427-7 maize, as described in the application, expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tissue-selective tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. The CP4 EPSPS expression is absent or limited in male reproductive tissues, which eliminates or reduces the need for detasseling when MON-87427-7 is used as female parent in hybrid maize seed production.
(c) Labelling:
For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Articles 13(1) and 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’;
The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in the documents accompanying products containing or consisting of MON-87427-7 maize with the exception of products referred to in point (a) of Article 2.
(d) Method for detection:
Event specific real-time PCR based method for the quantification of MON-87427-7;
Validated by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on genomic DNA extracted from maize seeds, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdossiers.aspx);
Reference Material: AOCS 0512-A and AOCS 0406-A are accessible via the American Oil Chemists Society at http://www.aocs.org/LabServices/content.cfm?ItemNumber=19248)
(e) Unique identifier:
MON-87427-7
(f) Information required under Annex II to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity:
[Biosafety Clearing-House, Record ID number: published in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed when notified].
(g) Conditions or restrictions on the placing on the market, use or handling of the products:
Not required.
(h) Monitoring plan for environmental effects:
Monitoring plan for environmental effects conforming with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC.
[Link: plan published in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed]
(i) Post-market monitoring requirements for the use of the food for human consumption:
Not required.
