| Products |
(1) Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified cotton BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8;
(2) Feed containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified cotton BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8; (3) Products other than food and feed containing or consisting genetically modified cotton BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8 cotton for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation. |
| Designation | The genetically modified cotton BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8 expresses the 2mepsps gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate based herbicides, the bar gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium based herbicides, the cry1Ab, and the cry2Ae genes, which confer resistance to certain lepidopteran pests. |
| 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 'cotton'.
(2) The words 'not for cultivation' shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying products containing or consisting of genetically modified cotton BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8referred to in Article 2(b) and (c). |
| Method for detection |
- The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods for cotton GHB614 × T304-40 × GHB119 are those validated for genetically modified cotton events BCS-GHØØ2-5, BCS-GHØØ4-7 and BCS-GHØØ5-8. The detection methods have been validated on genomic DNA extracted from leaves of BCS-GHØØ2-5, BCS-GHØØ4-7, BCS-GHØØ5-8 and verified on genomic DNA extracted from leaves of BCS-GHØØ2-5 × BCS-GHØØ4-7 × BCS-GHØØ5-8.
