Products (a) Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7,ACS-BNØØ5-8 × MON-ØØØ73-7 and ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7 oilseed rapes, with the exception of isolated seed protein;
(b) Feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7,ACS-BNØØ5-8 × MON-ØØØ73-7 and ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7oilseed rapes
(c) Genetically modified ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7,ACS-BNØØ5-8 × MON-ØØØ73-7 and ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7 oilseed rapes in products containing them or consisting of them for uses other than those provided in points (a) and (b), with the exception of cultivation.
Designation The genetically modified ACS-BNØØ5-8 oilseed rape expresses the pat gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides, and the barnase gene, which confers male sterility during anther development.

The genetically modified ACS-BNØØ3-6 oilseed rape expresses the pat gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides, and the barstar gene, which restores fertility after crossing with ACSBNØØ5-8.

The genetically modified oilseed rape MON-ØØØ73-7 expresses the cp4 epsps and goxv247 genes, which confer tolerance to glyphosate-based herbicides.
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 ‘oilseed rape’.
(2) The words 'not for cultivation' shall appear on the label of and in the documents accompanying products containing or consisting of genetically modified oilseed rapes referred to in Article 2 of Commission Implementing Decision of 26 July 2019, with the exception of foods and food ingredients."
Method for detection The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods are those individually validated for genetically modified oilseed rape events ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and MON-ØØØ73-7 and further verified on oilseed rape stack ACSBNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 × MON-ØØØ73-7
