Corn GMO Renewal and New authorisation

On 19 December 2018, two implementing decisions were published on the placing on the market of GMO maize:

– A decision concerning a renewal, namely the implementing decision (EU) 2018/2045 renewing the marketing authorisation for products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize NK603 × MON 810 (MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × MON-ØØ81Ø-6) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

This genetically modified maize had already been authorised by Decision 2007/701/EC. It is therefore renewed for ten years.

– A decision on a new authorisation, namely the implementing decision (EU) 2018/2046 authorising the placing on the market of products containing or produced from genetically modified maize MON 87427 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017 × 59122 and genetically modified maize combining two, three or four of the single events MON 87427, MON 89034, 1507, MON 88017 and 59122, and repealing Decision 2011/366/UE.

This decision concerns fourteen sub-combinations:

Four sub-combinations of four events: (MON 87427 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 88017, MON 87427 × MON 89034 × 1507 × 59122, MON 87427 × MON 89034 × MON 88017 × 59122 and MON 87427 × 1507 × MON 88017 × 59122)
