| Products |
(1) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified oilseed rapes ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6; (2) feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified oilseed rapes ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6; (3) products containing or consisting of genetically modified oilseed rapes ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation. |
| Designation | Genetically modified oilseed rapes ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6 express the phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (pat) gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides and the barnase gene (ACS-BNØØ5-8) for male sterility and the barstar gene (ACS-BNØØ3-6) restoring fertility |
| 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 ‘oilseed rape’. (2) The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying the products containing or consisting of oilseed rapes ACS-BNØØ5-8, ACS-BNØØ3-6 and ACS-BNØØ5-8 × ACS-BNØØ3-6, with the exception of products referred point 1 of the "Products" row. |
