| Products |
(1) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from BCS-GHØØ2-5 × ACS-GHØØ1-3 × MON-15985-7 cotton;
(2) feed containing, consisting of or produced from BCS-GHØØ2-5 × ACS-GHØØ1-3 × MON-15985-7 cotton; (3) products containing or consisting of BCS-GHØØ2-5 × ACS-GHØØ1-3 × MON-15985-7 cotton for uses other than those provided in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation. |
| Designation | The genetically modified cotton GHB614 × LLCotton25 × MON 15985, as described in the application, expresses the 2mEPSPS protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides, the PAT protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium based herbicides, the Cry1Ac and the Cry1Ab2 proteins which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests. In addition, uidA gene, coding for the GUS protein, nptII gene, conferring kanamycin and neomycin resistance, and aadA gene, conferring spectinomycin and streptomycin resistance, were used as selection markers in the genetic modification process. |
| 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 the products containing or consisting of BCS-GHØØ2-5 × ACS-GHØØ1-3 × MON-15985-7 cotton, with the exception of products referred to in point (a) of Article 2 of Commission Implementing Decision 2019/1302 (EU). |
| Method for detection |
- The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods for cotton GHB614 × LLCotton25 × MON 15985 are those validated for genetically modified cotton events BCS-GHØØ2-5, ACS-GHØØ1-3 and MON-15985-7. The detection methods have been validated on genomic DNA extracted from leaves BCS-GHØØ2-5, ACS-GHØØ1-3 and MON-15985-7 cotton.
- Validated by the EU reference laboratory established under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, published at http://gmo-crl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/StatusOfDossiers.aspx |
