ANNEX
1. Authorisation holder:
  1. The authorisation holder is Corteva Agriscience LLC, 9330 Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46268-1054, United States of America.
  2. The authorisation holder is represented in Great Britain by Corteva Agriscience UK Limited, Cpc2 Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge, England, CB21 5XE.
2. Designation and specification of the products:
  1. food containing, consisting of, or produced from maize 59122;
  2. feed containing, consisting of, or produced from maize 59122;
  3. maize 59122 in products containing it or consisting of it for any other use than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.
Maize 59122, as described in the application, expresses the Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 proteins, derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, which confer resistance to certain coleopteran pests, including Western corn rootworm, and the PAT protein, derived from Streptomyces viridochromogenes, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium based herbicides and was used as a selection marker.
3. Labelling:
  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. The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying the products containing or consisting of maize 59122, with the exception of food and food ingredients.
4. Method for detection:
  1. Event specific real-time quantitative PCR based method for detection of the genetically modified maize DAS-59122-7.
  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

5. Unique identifier:
DAS-59122-7
6. 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 register of genetically modified food and feed when notified].
7. Conditions or restrictions on the placing on the market, use or handling of the products:
Not required.
8. Monitoring plan for environmental effects:
