(5) In accordance with Article 5(5) and Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, the application included information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8). It also included the information required pursuant to Annexes III and IV to that Directive and a monitoring plan for environmental effects in accordance with Annex VII to that Directive.
(6) By a letter dated 27 August 2018, Monsanto Europe S.A./N.V. informed the Commission that, as of 23 August 2018, it converted its legal form and changed its name to Bayer Agriculture BVBA, based in Belgium.
(7) By a letter dated 28 July 2020, Bayer Agriculture BVBA informed the Commission that, as of 1 August 2020, it changes its name to Bayer Agriculture BV, based in Belgium.
(8) By a letter dated 28 July 2020, Bayer Agriculture BVBA, representing Monsanto Company, informed the Commission that, as of 1 August 2020, Monsanto Company converts its legal form and changes its name to Bayer CropScience LP, based in the United States.
(9) On 19 January 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) issued a favourable opinion in accordance with Article 6 and Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (9). The Authority concluded that genetically modified maize MON 87427 × MON 87460 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 87411 × 59122 and its sub-combinations, as described in the application, are as safe as their non-genetically modified comparator and the selected non-genetically modified reference varieties with respect to the potential effects on human and animal health and the environment.
(10) No new safety concerns were identified for the previously assessed sub-combinations and therefore previous conclusions on those sub-combinations remain valid. As regards the remaining sub-combinations, the Authority concluded that they are expected to be as safe as the single transformation events MON 87427, MON 87460, MON 89034, 1507, MON 87411 and 59122, the previously assessed sub-combinations and the six-event stack maize MON 87427 × MON 87460 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 87411 × 59122.
(11) In its opinion, the Authority considered all the questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for in Article 6(4) and Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(12) The Authority also concluded that the monitoring plan for the environmental effects, submitted by the applicant, consisting of a general surveillance plan, is in line with the intended uses of the products.
(13) Taking into account those conclusions, the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON 87427 × MON 87460 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 87411 × 59122, and of the thirty-nine sub-combinations concerned, should be authorised for the uses listed in the application.
(14) A unique identifier should be assigned to genetically modified maize MON 87427 × MON 87460 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 87411 × 59122, and to the thirty-nine sub-combinations concerned, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 (10).
(15) For the products covered by this Decision, no specific labelling requirements, other than those provided for 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 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11), appear to be necessary. However, in order to ensure that the use of those products remains within the limits of the authorisation granted by this Decision, the labelling of the products covered by it, with the exception of food products, should contain a clear indication that they are not intended for cultivation.
(16) The authorisation holder should submit annual reports on the implementation and on the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan for environment effects. Those results should be presented in accordance with the requirements laid down in Commission Decision 2009/770/EC (12).
(17) The opinion of the Authority does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market, for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements regarding the consumption of the food and feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON 87427 × MON 87460 × MON 89034 × 1507 × MON 87411 × 59122 and all sub-combinations thereof, or for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment or geographical areas, as provided for in Article 6(5)(e) and Article 18(5)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(18) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products covered by this Decision should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed referred to in Article 28(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(19) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing-House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Article 9(1) and Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (13).
(20) The Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chair. This implementing act was deemed to be necessary and the chair submitted it to the appeal committee for further deliberation. The appeal committee did not deliver an opinion,

Designation and specification of the products:

(1) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize (
Zea mays
L.) as referred to in point (e);
(2) feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize (
Zea mays
L.) as referred to in point (e);
(3) products containing or consisting of genetically modified maize (
Zea mays
L.) as referred to in point (e) for uses other than those provided for in points (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.
The genetically modified maize MON-87427-7 expresses the
cp4 epsps
gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides.
The genetically modified maize MON-8746Ø-4 expresses a
Bacillus subtilis
modified
cspB
gene, which aims to reduce yield loss caused by drought stress. In addition, the
nptII
gene, conferring kanamycin and neomycin resistance, was used as a selection marker in the genetic modification process.
The genetically modified maize MON-89Ø34-4 expresses the
cry1A.105
and
cry2Ab2
genes, which confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests.
The genetically modified maize DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 expresses the
cry1F
gene, which confers protection against certain lepidopteran pests and the
pat
gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides.
The genetically modified maize MON-87411-9 expresses the
cp4 epsps
gene, which confers tolerance to glyphosate-containing herbicides, the
cry3Bb1
gene and the DvSnf7 dsRNA, which confer protection against corn rootworm (
Diabrotica spp.
).
The genetically modified maize DAS-59122-7 expresses the
cry34Ab1
and
cry35Ab1
genes, which confer protection against certain coleopteran pests and the
pat
gene, which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides.

(c)   

Labelling:

(2) The words ‘not for cultivation’ shall appear on the label of and in documents accompanying the products containing or consisting of the maize specified in point (e), with the exception of products referred to in point (b)(1).

(d)   

Method for detection:

(1) The quantitative event-specific PCR detection methods are those individually validated for genetically modified maize MON-87427-7, MON-8746Ø-4, MON-89Ø34-3, DAS-Ø15Ø7-1, MON-87411-9, DAS-59122-7 and further verified on maize stack MON-87427-7 × MON-8746Ø-4 × MON-89Ø34-3 × DAS-Ø15Ø7-1 × MON-87411-9 × 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;
