ANNEX
1. Applicant and authorisation holder:
Name
  - Bayer Agriculture BVBA
Address
  - Scheldelaan 460, 2040 Antwerp, Belgium
On behalf of Monsanto Company — 800 N. Lindbergh Boulevard — St. Louis, Missouri 63167 — United States of America.
2. Designation and specification of the products:
  1. foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 maize;
  2. feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 maize;
  3. MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 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-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 maize, as described in the application, expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides and PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate ammonium herbicides.
3. Labelling:
  1. 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’;
  2. The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in the accompanying documents of the products containing or consisting of MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 maize with the exception of products referred to in point (a) of Article 2.
4. Method for detection:
  1. Event-specific real-time quantitative PCR-based methods for MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 and ACS-ZMØØ3-2 maize; the detection methods are validated on the single-trait events and verified on genomic DNA extracted from seeds of MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 × ACS-ZMØØ3-2 maize;
  2. Validated by the EU Reference Laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/statusofdossiers.aspx)
