Abstract

These Regulations authorise the placing on the market of specified genetically modified food and feed products in England in accordance with Articles 7(3) and 19(3) of Regulation (EC) No. 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on genetically modified food and feed (“Regulation 1829/2003”). Part 2 and Schedules 1 to 8 contain the authorisations; of the eight, six relate to new authorisations of maize, soybean and cotton and two are renewals of previous maize and oilseed rape authorisations. Part 3 amends, in relation to England, 18 retained EU Decisions containing existing authorisations for genetically modified food and feed. The amendments all relate to changes to the names and addresses of the respective authorisation holders, and their representatives in Great Britain. Part 4 revokes, in relation to England, the retained EU Decision containing the previous authorisation for the products now authorised by Schedule 7. In each Schedule, paragraph 4 specifies the methods for detection, including sampling, which have been validated for use in relation to the authorised products.
